What are Blood Lancets?
Blood Lancets are medical diagnostic tools that are used to collect capillary blood samples. Each blood lancet is designed to create a small and controlled incision in the skin, most often the fingertip. By puncturing the skin, a small blood sample can be collected for diagnostic testing or monitoring purposes.

They can be utilized for many diagnostic and screening tests that require a small amount of blood, including glucose monitoring, cholesterol testing, and hemoglobin testing. Additionally, they offer a convenient and relatively painless method of blood collection.
