Description
The Owen Mumford Unistik Touch safety lancets activate on contact, so the sampling sequence is simply placing the device on the site and pressing, with the needle retracting into the body immediately after use. Five flow rates from 30G low flow to 16G highest flow match the sample volume to the test, and Comfort Zone Technology works to make each stick less painful.
- One Touch Activation – Contact firing removes the button step, which speeds high volume sampling and simplifies training.
- Five Flow Rates – Gauges and depths pair into low, medium, high and highest flow options for tests from glucose to full blood gas panels.
- Comfort Zone Technology – Eight raised dots press the site to send a comfort signal that helps mask the needle sensation.
About This Unistik Touch Safety Lancets
Contact activation trades the firing decision for speed and simplicity, which suits screening events and busy wards where technique must be identical across hundreds of sticks. The range table maps each variant to its work, with 30G for frequent glucose testing and pediatric use, 23G for larger sample tests such as INR and liver function, and 16G for comprehensive blood gas, electrolyte and coagulation panels. Lot number labeling on each device keeps traceability intact at that pace.
After activation the needle retracts into the device body, reducing the risk of reuse, cross-infection and injury. The manufacturer cites crossover study evidence for Comfort Zone Technology reducing pain in capillary sampling. The high flow 21G configuration carries a distributor minimum order of ten boxes, noted in the specifications.
Features and Benefits
Activation and Safety
- Pressure Firing – The device activates automatically under pressure when pressed to the sample site.

Why Choose This Touch Safety Lancets
Programs choose contact activation when consistency and pace matter more than manual firing control. Unistik Touch keeps the family comfort and retraction safety while making the stick itself a single motion.
- Faster Clinics – One motion sampling keeps screening lines and ward rounds moving.
- Volume Matched Sticks – Five flow rates mean the first stick is sized to the test, cutting repeat sampling.
- Contact Simplicity – Pressure activation with no button or cocking is a differentiator over side fired lancets for high throughput programs.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
How does contact activation work?
Press the device against the sample site and it activates automatically under pressure. The needle then retracts into the device body after use.
Which flow rate do I need?
Low flow 30G and 28G suit frequent glucose testing, medium flow 23G covers larger sample tests such as INR, and high and highest flow cover cardiac, coagulation and blood gas work. Match the configuration to the test panel in the option list.
Is there a minimum order on any configuration?
The distributor lists a ten box minimum order on the 21G high flow configuration. Other configurations carry no stated minimum.
What does Comfort Zone Technology do?
Eight raised dots stimulate nerve endings at the site when the device is pressed down. The manufacturer describes that signal as helping to mask the lighter pain sensation from the needle.
Are the devices traceable?
Yes, lot number labeling helps ensure traceability. That supports clinical quality systems at program scale.
Can a device be used twice?
No, the needle retracts after a single use and the device cannot fire again. That design reduces reuse and cross-infection risk.
