MediPurpose SurgiLance Safety Lancets, 21G (0.82 mm)
PRODUCT DETAILS
The MediPurpose SurgiLance Safety Lancet is a single-use, latex-free capillary blood sampling device for fingerstick testing, such as glucose monitoring. All variants share the same 21-gauge (0.82 mm) needle and differ only in penetration depth, each marked with its own color code. The range covers applications from low-flow glucose testing to hematocrit tube use.
Key Features and Benefits
- Labeled not made with natural rubber latex
- 21-gauge (0.82 mm) needle across the full range of penetration depths
- Color-coded penetration depths for quick identification
- Approximate blood flow from 5–10 µL up to 40–60 µL across the range
- Suited to glucose testing; the 2.2 mm and 2.8 mm depths also suit hematocrit tube use
