Product Description:
Pip Lancets are pre-loaded, pressure-activated disposable lancets indicated for self-testing blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The 28G x 1.8mm needle gauge provides a clinically functional balance between adequate blood sample yield and minimized tissue disruption at the fingertip puncture site. Activation requires a simple twist-and-press motion without loading or handling exposed needles.
The concealed needle mechanism maintains sterility before use and retracts automatically after activation, reducing cross-contamination risk and accidental sticks. Each box contains 100 individually sealed lancets, supporting approximately three months of once-daily testing. The design is appropriate for users with reduced manual dexterity, including elderly patients and those with arthritis.

Reviews
I have been testing my blood sugar for 8 years and these are among the least painful lancets I have tried. The needle is extremely thin and the puncture is barely noticeable. Great price at MDS Diabetes.
