The blue twist blood lancet is a supporting medical instrument used in many home health care for glucose monitoring such as diabetes. You will need to use a blood needle to collect a blood sample from the extremities (mainly the tip of the middle finger, and the heel of the baby) for diagnostic testing. A complete glucose test also requires the use of a lancing device, glucose monitor, and test strip.
In home health care blood tests, we often encounter erratic results. As the source manufacturer of blood collection needles, here are our five short precaution tips for your lancet use:
1. Needle thickness
Please choose the appropriate needle thickness according to your skin condition. The commonly used 28G one is a thicker needle that is suitable for people with thicker skin, while the 30G one suitable for more sensitive skin to reduce the feeling of pain. Do not use if the protective cap is loose or falls off.
2. Clean and disinfect
Before the puncture, be sure to wash your hands or wipe your fingertips clean with alcohol pads, etc., to minimize the risk of getting contaminants into the needle and coming into contact with your micro-wound.
3. Location of blood collection
When taking blood, the puncture should be carried out at the inner finger abdomen of the middle finger tip, and the first drop of blood that flows out after the first acupuncture should be wiped off with a tissue first, and the second drop of blood should be collected on the test strip for testing to seek more accurate results.
4.Single use
Almost all blood lancets on the market are disposable medical consumables, and each time you use them, you should throw them away in time to avoid the risk of cross infection and ensure the authenticity of your blood sugar test data. Certainly, you can't share the same blood lancet with anyone else.
5. Safe disposal of used blood lancets
It is recommended that you purchase a sharp instrument container from your local pharmacy or medical institution to store medical instruments such as your blood collection needles.
