BD Microtainer® Contact-Activated Lancets - BD Microtainer® Quikheel™ Lancets

These lancets are intended for single-use only, as explicitly stated in the device description. This design ensures patient safety by minimizing infection risk, as reuse could introduce contamination from previous use. Single-use also reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients, aligning with best practices for sterile medical devices in blood collection.

The packaging instructions specify storage in a clean, dry environment prior to use. Exposure to moisture could compromise sterility, as moisture may alter the integrity of the packaging or the lancet itself. Ensuring a dry storage area helps maintain the device’s sterile condition, which is critical for reliable blood collection and infection prevention.

These lancets are designed for percutaneous skin puncture to obtain capillary blood samples, which are commonly used in point-of-care testing (e.g., glucose monitoring, rapid infectious disease testing) and laboratory diagnostics. Their compact, single-use design makes them ideal for quick, low-volume blood draws in settings like clinics, hospitals, or home healthcare.

The provided data does not specify individual sizes or models beyond the two product lines (Contact-Activated and Quikheel). Selection would typically depend on clinical needs—such as depth of puncture required or patient comfort—but the manufacturer’s documentation or sales team would provide guidance on compatibility with specific collection tubes or devices. Always verify compatibility with your intended use case.
