Saf-T-Lance Safety Lancets

Saf-T-Lance safety lancets are single-use, retractable blood-sampling devices built for one job done reliably: a clean capillary puncture followed by automatic needle retraction, so the sharp is never exposed again after activation. For clinics, labs, and anyone managing frequent blood glucose checks, that self-sheathing mechanism is what separates a compliant, needlestick-safe workflow from an avoidable injury.

The Saf-T-Lance Safety Lancet, 1014-1 is a contact-activation device — press it against the fingertip and the lancet fires, penetrates to a fixed depth, and permanently retracts in a single motion. There's no button to fumble, no re-cocking, and no way to reuse it, which is exactly what OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and facility infection-control policies call for. Because the depth is preset, users get consistent sample volumes without dialing in settings, making these especially practical in high-volume settings where multiple staff draw from many patients.

Two questions come up most often. First, what gauge and depth? Safety lancets like these are engineered for capillary sampling — the fixed penetration is tuned to reach the dermal blood supply while minimizing discomfort, so patients feel a quick pinch rather than a lingering ache. Second, are they truly single-patient, single-use? Yes — the permanent retraction makes reuse impossible, which is the whole point. Dispose of each activated lancet in a sharps container immediately after use.

Keep a supply on hand alongside your other point-of-care and safety consumables. If you're stocking a broader testing or first-aid station, you may also want to browse related lines such as Safe-T-Pro and Safe-T-Gard for complementary safety-focused supplies. Ordering in quantity ensures you never interrupt a diabetic monitoring routine or a busy draw schedule waiting on restock.
