✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Six commercially available automatic lancing devices were examined with regard to puncture pain and capillary blood volume. They differed significantly in puncture pain: devices with greater penetration depth, thicker lancets and inexact lancet guidance got higher pain scores. Blood volumes obtained were generally too large.

## Abstract Six lancets for automatic lancing devices were examined for puncture pain and blood volume in 51 healthy subjects. The lancets were used in a Glucolet® device (nominal penetration depth 1 mm). All lancets caused only slight pain of similar intensity. Blood volumes, however, differed con

## Abstract A new lancing device (Softclix®) with an adjustable penetration depth was compared to the Glucolet® which had proven to be the least painful device in an earlier study^1^. At the lowest depth setting for obtaining just enough blood for a glucose test (⩽20μl), the new device was signific

## Abstract The relation between penetration depth and puncture pain was studied in 30 healthy subjects with a lancing device which allowed adjustment of depth (0.3–1.1mm). Pain was linearly related to depth as was the blood volume obtained. In about half of the individuals tested, an actual penetr
