Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets are specially designed for capillary blood sampling. The needle tip of each lancet is capped within medical rubber to maintain full sterilisation and is fully shielded before and after use to prevent needle-stick injuries. It cannot be re-capped after use, giving a clear indication that it has been used and requires disposing in a sharps container.
Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets feature an auto polished, smooth tri-bevelled needle point that ensures precision and reduces the force required to penetrate the skin. Along with the patented, pressure activated linear needle track that prevents needle vibrations and ensures high speed penetration, this enables maximum patient comfort. Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets 28G are purple, have a depth of 1.8mm and are designed for low flow 10-20ul glucose tests.
Carefully pull off the protective cap. Do not use if the protective cap has been previously removed.
Push the lancet firmly against the chosen site to release the lancet. If required, massage the sample site, taking care not to squeeze too hard at the site.
Single use needle retracts immediately after sampling, dispose in a suitable sharps container.
