The BD Microtainer® contact-activated lancet is a safety-engineered device used for the fingerstick collection of blood. The contact activation method facilitates a consistent puncture depth, and minimizes the likelihood of having to repeat the puncture. It covers only a small area at the contact point, resulting in improved visibility of the puncture site for the clinician. Its innovative ergonomic design allows for a more comfortable grip. The lancet automatically retracts into the device, which prevents the lancet from being reused and minimizes the possibility of needlestick injury. In addition, the lot number is laser etched on each lancet for easier tracking.
