Patent number: 8192454Abstract: Lancing devices are disclosed having a carriage slidably disposed within the housing and a lancet carrier configured to directly receive and hold the lancet. The lancet carrier is engaged within the carriage and movable relative to and independently of the carriage between a forward incision position and a rearward cocked position. A trigger assembly has a user accessible first portion and a second portion attached to the carriage and movable with the carriage along the longitudinal axis. The second portion is configured to maintain the lancet carrier in the rearward cocked position and the first portion is configured to release the lancet carrier from the rearward cocked position.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignees: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 7998160Abstract: A lancing device is provided for use with a removable lancet. The lancing device includes a housing and a lancet carrier slidably disposed within the housing and adapted to receive the lancet. A user-actuated ejection slide is mounted to the housing to eject the lancet from the lancet carrier. A locking member is pivotally mounted to the housing. As the ejection slide moves forward, it rotates the locking member to block forward movement of the lancet carrier during ejection. The locking member is configured so that substantially all of the force exerted on it by the lancet carrier is transmitted to the housing via the pivotal mounting.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignees: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: Ray Adams Lathrop, John Andrew Trissel, Stephen J.
