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 considerably between the lancets.
