Lancet Pen and Needles

A lancet is a small, sharp needle used to prick the skin and draw blood. It is an essential part of the diabetes management process. However, lancets can also be used to collect blood for other medical purposes, like wet cupping. A sharp-pointed and commonly 2-edged surgical instrument used to make small incisions. Lancets are single-use and should be disposed of safely using a sharps bin. Although they become blunt after use, they can still be sharp and potentially carry infection.
