Description
The HemoCue Safety Lancet is built to produce the spontaneous blood flow that accurate capillary testing depends on. A consistent 2.25 mm incision depth gives the sample volume point-of-care analyzers need without repeated sticks. The package carries 200 lancets, matching the microcuvette supply rhythm of a testing site.
- 2.25 mm depth – an adequately deep incision for reliable spontaneous flow
- Consistent technique – the same incision depth from stick to stick and operator to operator
- 200 per package – a full supply box for the testing site
Consistent Incision Depth for Reliable Capillary Samples
Capillary results are only as good as the sample, and a shallow or hesitant stick is a common cause of squeezed, diluted samples. This lancet is designed around the sampling technique HemoCue prescribes for its analyzers, with a depth that reaches reliable flow on the first attempt. Safety styling protects the operator after use, the standard expectation in modern phlebotomy. Sites running Hb or glucose testing stock lancets beside microcuvettes so the sampling chain is never the weak link. The 200-count package aligns with the 200-count microcuvette packages used across the HemoCue line.

Why the Lancet Decides Sample Quality
Every point-of-care result starts with the stick. A lancet that reliably reaches free-flowing blood protects the accuracy the analyzer delivers, and it spares patients the repeat sticks that poor sampling causes.
- Better first samples – adequate depth produces spontaneous flow without squeezing
- Fewer repeat sticks – consistent depth reduces failed collections
- Matched to the system – the sampling step HemoCue analyzers are validated around
Frequently Asked Questions
What depth is the lancet?
The incision depth is 2.25 mm, sized for reliable capillary flow.
How many lancets are in the package?

Why does lancet depth matter?
A correct incision depth produces a spontaneous, representative blood sample, which is what accurate capillary results require.
Which tests are they used with?
They support capillary sampling for point-of-care testing such as the HemoCue hemoglobin and glucose systems.
What package is sold here?
