Description
The Terumo Capiject Safety Lancet fires, samples and retracts in one step, enclosing the blade or needle before and after use so the sharp is never exposed. Capillary sampling happens hundreds of times a day in hospitals, and each one deserves a device that ends safely by default. Lab collection teams, diabetes care units and bedside glucose programs will all recognize the one-step routine this lancet is built around.
- Automatic Retraction – The sharp withdraws into the device right after firing, enclosing it before and after use for maximum safety.
- One-Step Activation – A single motion fires the lancet, removing technique variables from a task repeated all day long.
- Color-Coded Sizing – Each depth and gauge carries its own color, so staff can confirm the right device at a glance.
- Blade and Needle Options – Choose a 1.5mm blade in three depths or a needle style in 23G or 28G to match the sample needed.
Safety Lancets for Consistent Capillary Sampling
Capiject is Terumo's single-use safety lancet line for capillary blood sampling from the fingertip. The defining feature is enclosure: the blade or needle sits inside the device before use, fires for the sample and retracts back inside afterward. That design removes the exposed sharp from both ends of the procedure, which is where lancet injuries tend to happen. One-step activation keeps the technique identical from the first sample of the shift to the last, supporting consistent depth and reliable blood flow. Five color-coded versions cover three blade depths for generous samples and two needle gauges for finer sticks, including neonatal-style shallow draws.
Features and Benefits
Safety Design
- Enclosed Before and After – The sharp is housed inside the device until it fires and retracts immediately after, so it is never carried exposed.
- Single Use, Self-Locking – The lancet cannot be re-fired once used, which prevents accidental or intentional reuse.
- One-Step Firing – A simple press fires the device, keeping sampling technique uniform across staff and shifts.
Sampling Choice
- Blade Depths for Volume – The 1.5mm blade comes in 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm depths, trading depth for sample volume as the test requires.
- Needle Styles for Finer Sticks – The 23G and 28G needle versions suit smaller samples and more delicate skin.
- Color-Coded Bodies – Pink, green, blue, orange and purple bodies map to each configuration for fast, confident selection.

A Lancet That Ends the Procedure Safely
Lancets are small, cheap and used constantly, which is exactly why their injuries add up quietly across a facility. A device that encloses its sharp before and after use removes the hazard instead of asking staff to manage it. Across thousands of samples a year, that design choice is the whole argument.
- Never an Exposed Sharp – Enclosure at both ends of the stick protects the phlebotomist, the next handler and the waste stream.
- Consistent Depth, Consistent Flow – One-step firing delivers the rated depth every time, supporting reliable samples without repeat sticks.
- Color Confidence – Color-coded bodies let a busy collector verify the device before it ever touches the patient.
- Blade or Needle, One Routine – Five configurations share one activation routine, so training stays simple across the range.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the safety feature work?
The blade or needle is enclosed inside the device, fires for the sample and retracts automatically afterward, so the sharp is never exposed.
What is the difference between the blade and needle versions?
The 1.5mm blade versions produce a wider incision for larger samples at three depths, while the 23G and 28G needle versions make a finer puncture for smaller samples.
Can the lancet be reused?
No. It is a sterile single-use device that locks after firing.
What colors map to which sizes?
Pink is the 1.0mm depth blade, green 1.5mm, blue 2.0mm, orange the 23G needle and purple the 28G needle.
How are they packaged?
Lancets come 200 to a box and 10 boxes to a case, and the case is the package sold on this listing.
