Lancets & Devices

Lancing Devices

Most lancets and lancing devices are interchangeable if they are considered "universal".  Primary differences between lancing devices are:

• depth-dialers:  this determines the depth in which the lancet will pierce the skin.  Some "dialers" to adjust the depth, while others have interchangeable caps.
• location of trigger button.  Some "trigger" or release buttons are on the side of the device, while some are located on the back end.
