Reusing a lancet compromises puncture quality, increases the risk of infection and may cause unnecessary pain.
Lancets are small devices with a fine needle used to make a small prick on the finger (or another alternative site) and collect a drop of blood to measure blood glucose with a blood glucose meter.
CareSens™ lancets are designed to minimise pain. The fine 30G needle allows for a less invasive and more comfortable puncture than larger-gauge lancets.
No. Lancets are single-use. Reuse makes the needle less sharp, increases the risk of infection, and can make the puncture more painful. You should always use a new lancet for each test.
CareSens™ lancets can be used with most lancing devices available on the market. Consult your device's manual to confirm compatibility.
