GlucoJect Lancets Extra 33G Lancing Device 50 Pieces

GlucoJect Lancets Extra 33G Lancing Device 50 Pieces I am sterile disposable lancets for collecting capillary blood from the fingertip or alternative sites, in the thinnest size of the range. The package contains some 50.

The number that matters is caliber 33G. The acronym G stands for gauge, and in the gauge scale the number increases while the diameter decreases: 33G is therefore a very thin needle, and the surface area of skin it passes through is small. It is the useful measure in case of frequent self-monitoring, when the same fingertip is pricked several times a day and every tenth of a millimeter is felt.

The tip is three-sided sharp: instead of just one bevel, the machining produces three, and the tip enters by cutting rather than pushing. The silicone coating works in the same direction, reducing friction between needle and skin.

The needle is in 304 stainless steel, the alloy from surgical instruments. The hand is free of phthalates, latex, PVC and benzene, non-pyrogenic and non-toxic: the absence of latex it's the one that matters most, and is useful in case of latex allergy.

Sterilization occurs for irradiation and sterility is maintained as long as the protective cap it remains in place: it is that cap, and not the packaging, that seals the individual piece. The declared validity is 5 years from sterilization.

The alternative site is the second reason why a thin caliber matters: not just the fingertip, but the palm, forearm or earlobe, which have fewer nerve endings. Not all glucometers allow sampling from alternative sites and not at all times of the day, but where it is allowed is a gauge like the 33G to make it practicable.

The lancets are mounted on the lancing device GlucoJect Dual Extra of Menarini and on most other lancing devices. The pack of 50 it is the short supply.
