What is a lancet?
A lancet is a small, needle-shaped medical instrument used to prick your fingertip. This provides a drop of blood for measuring your blood glucose levels. Lancets are specially designed to make this process as painless and effective as possible.
Most lancets are single-use and made of surgical stainless steel. They have a very fine, sharp point that minimizes discomfort during the puncture. The needle's special sharpening allows for minimal resistance when puncturing the skin.
How do you use a lancet?
Using a lancet is simple but requires care. You insert the lancet into a lancing device, set the desired puncture depth, and prick your fingertip. Proper technique ensures less pain and better blood flow.
For best results, follow these steps:
- Wash your hands with warm water and soap
- Insert a new lancet into your lancing device
- Set the correct puncture depth (often adjustable from 1 to 5)
- Prick the side of your fingertip (where the nerves are less sensitive)
- Dispose of the used lancet in a special sharps container
For the most comfortable experience possible, it's important to rotate your fingers regularly. This prevents excessive irritation and calluses in specific areas.
Which lancets for diabetes do you need?
Choosing the right lancet depends on several factors, such as your skin type, sensitivity, and personal preference. Lancets are available in various needle diameters, usually measured in gauge (G). The higher the number, the thinner the needle.
For people with sensitive skin, we recommend lancets with a higher gauge (30G or 33G). These cause less discomfort during the injection. If you have thicker skin or calluses on your fingertips, you can choose lancets with a lower gauge (23G or 28G).
At multicare-centrum.nl, you'll always find lancets that meet your specific needs. We offer various options in terms of thickness, length, and compatibility with lancing devices.

The right lancing device for your lancets
For optimal use of lancets, the right lancing device is essential. Not all lancets fit every lancing device, so it's important to check that your lancets are compatible with your lancing device.
Most brands have their own specific lancing devices designed for use with their lancets. For example, Accu-Chek Fastclix lancets only work with the Fastclix lancing device, while Softclix lancets require a Softclix lancing device.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lancets
How often should I replace my lancet?
For optimal hygiene and comfort, we recommend replacing your lancet after each use. The needle becomes blunt after use, which can lead to increased pain during the injection and an increased risk of infection.
Are all lancets suitable for my lancing device?
No, not all lancets fit every lancing device. Always check compatibility or contact our customer service for advice on which lancets are compatible with your lancing device.
What is the difference between 33G and 28G lancets?
The number followed by "G" (gauge) indicates the thickness of the needle. A 33G lancet is thinner than a 28G lancet. Thinner needles (higher gauge) generally cause less pain but can sometimes be less effective in obtaining a blood sample.
Can I use lancets without a lancing device?
For most lancets, you need a lancing device. An exception to this are the HT One safety lancets, which have an integrated activation mechanism and can be used immediately.

What do you use lancets for?

Choosing the right lancet can affect how comfortable and efficient the lancing process is. The choice of lancets may vary based on personal preference, skin type and the specific needs of the user.

Each lancing device is designed to work with specific lancets, so checking for compatibility is essential.

What are lancets and why do you need them?
Lancets are sterile, thin needles specifically designed for collecting a small drop of blood. This drop of blood is then used to measure your glucose levels using test strips . Modern lancets are so thin that the prick is barely noticeable. This makes checking your blood sugar daily much more comfortable.
A lancing device is a handy tool into which you insert the lancet. This device ensures that the lancet penetrates the skin at the correct speed and depth. Most lancing devices allow you to adjust the puncture depth, allowing you to tailor the puncture to your skin type. This significantly increases comfort, especially if you have to puncture several times a day.
Different types of lancets for every type of user
Our range includes various types of lancets to suit your specific needs. Microlet lancets, for example, are known for their ultra-thin needles and are often used by people who perform multiple tests daily. Accu-Chek Softclix lancets feature special Clixmotion technology that delivers a gentle, barely noticeable prick. BD Microfine lancets are known for their consistent quality and reliability.
Special lancets with an extra-thin needle are available for children or people with sensitive skin. Unistik lancets are safety lancets that retract automatically after use, reducing the risk of needle stick injuries. This makes them ideal for use in healthcare settings or when several people in a household have diabetes.
Choosing the right lancing device
Choosing a lancing device is a personal choice and depends on several factors. It's important that the lancing device fits comfortably in your hand and is easy to operate. Most modern lancing devices have an adjustable puncture depth, usually ranging from 1 to 5 or even 9 levels. For people with thinner skin, a lower setting is often sufficient, while those with calluses or thicker skin require a deeper setting.
Some lancing devices have additional features such as an illuminated puncture area or a special comfort mechanism that reduces vibration during lancing. For people with fine motor skills, lancing devices with larger buttons are easier to operate. At Multicare-Centrum.nl, we are happy to advise you on which combination of lancet and lancing device best suits your needs.

For optimal hygiene and comfort, we recommend using each lancet only once. A used lancet becomes blunt and can cause more pain when reused.
Are all lancets compatible with every lancing device?
No, not all lancets fit every lancing device. Always check the product information or contact our customer service for advice on compatibility.
Where is the best place to get a blood test?
