OneTouch Ultrasoft Lancets

What Is OneTouch Ultrasoft Lancets?

OneTouch Ultrasoft Lancets are tiny, sterile, single-use needles designed to puncture the skin, often on the fingertip, to collect blood samples. Designed for use with a lancing device, these lancets are typically used by diabetics to check blood glucose levels.

Their ultra-thin shape reduces pain and suffering when drawing blood, and they are compatible with many OneTouch lancing devices, providing a delicate yet effective blood collection technique.

How Does It Work?

OneTouch Ultrasoft Lancets offer a comfortable, less intrusive method for collecting a little blood sample for glucose testing. Insert the lancet into a corresponding lancing device, which, when placed against the fingertip or alternate location, causes the lancet to pierce the skin with its ultra-thin needle. This causes a tiny hole, allowing a drop of blood to be taken for testing using a glucose meter.

How To Take This Medicine?

To prepare the lancing device, follow the instructions below:

• Remove the lancing device cap
• Place a sterile lancet in the lancing device and remove the protective cover
• Replace the lancing device cap
• Adjust the depth setting
• Pull back the re-set handle to ready the lancing device
