Edda Pharma lancets 100 units are very useful medical devices. They facilitate the collection of capillary blood. They can also be used to measure blood sugar or haemoglobin levels, as well as to test various blood components.
This product is an ideal tool for people suffering from diabetes. It helps them to perform a self-assessment of their blood sugar levels.
The punctures are made in the bulb of the finger, preferably in the index finger. The collection process is usually complemented by a glucose meter and a lancet device. The lancing device helps the instrument to penetrate the skin faster and less pain is felt.
The depth of penetration is adjusted according to the thickness of the skin. There are long lancet devices that facilitate the analysis of blood from the foetal scalp. This provides a measure of the foetal acid-base status.
It is important to observe some safety precautions when using lancets to reduce the risk of infection. First of all, the puncture site should be cleaned with a little warm water and soap.
Another sanitary measure to consider is that neither lancets nor the lancing device should be shared. They are for the exclusive use of one person only. Moreover, they are not reusable.
