Safety lancets
Safety lancets are sterile, single-use medical devices intended for the capillary blood sampling. Depending on the safety lancet type intended users are healthcare professionals (Heamolance Plus; ergoLance; MediSafe Solo; Medlance Plus; Acti-Lance) and lay users (Acti-Lance; ergoLance)
They are an integral component of sharps-injury prevention programs in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, doctor’s offices, and wherever both patients and professionals need to feel safe.
By using safety lancets, needle-stick injuries and infections can be minimized.1,2
