What are Cardinal Health Twist and Re-Cap lancets used for?
Cardinal Health Twist and Re-Cap lancets are blood glucose lancets used with a lancing device, also known as a finger pricker or finger lancet, to perform a finger stick. When triggered, the lancet needle quickly punctures the skin to produce a small drop of blood. This drop is applied to a glucose test strip and measured by a compatible glucose meter. As disposable diabetic lancets, they are designed for one-time use only, ensuring accuracy, reducing infection risk, and maintaining safe and hygienic blood sampling.
What gauge are Cardinal Health Twist and Re-Cap lancets?
These lancets are 28G (0.36 mm), a slightly thicker lancet needle that provides a larger blood drop while still maintaining comfort. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals who require a slightly deeper puncture for consistent blood sampling. For users with thinner or more sensitive skin, higher gauge lancets (such as 30G, 32G, or 33G) may provide a gentler testing experience.
Why choose Twist and Re-Cap lancets?
The patented Twist and Re-Cap design makes these lancets unique by allowing easier handling and safer disposal. The side wings on the cap give users a larger gripping area, making it easier to twist off the cap, use the lancet, and recap it afterward for safer discarding. Combined with their tri-bevel, electropolished tips, Cardinal Health Twist and Re-Cap lancets provide both comfort and convenience in daily diabetes care.
