✦ Synopsis

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 significantly less painful. This is mainly due to the fact that the Glucolet® lacks low and intermediate depth settings.

## 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
