  • Patent number: 8876846
    Abstract: Single-use blade lancet device includes a body having a rear end and a front end. A triggering mechanism has a blade tip opening and is mounted to the body. A blade member is movably mounted within the body and includes a front end and a rear end. The blade member is movable at least between a first retracted position, an extended position, and a second retracted position. A biasing arrangement biases the blade member from the first retracted position towards the extended position and then towards the second retracted position. A guiding arrangement guides the blade member while the blade member moves from the first retracted position towards the extended position and then towards the second retracted position. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

  • Patent number: 8303614
    Abstract: Double-ended lancet unit for a lancet device. The unit includes a lancet body having a first end and a second end and being sized and configured to frictionally engage with a holding member of the lancet device. A first lancet needle projects from the first end and a second lancet needle projects from the second end and/or a lancet needle member has oppositely arranged pointed ends and is movably mounted to the lancet body. The body is made of a material different from that of the first and second needles or the pointed ends. First and second removable caps are respectively removably connected to the first and second ends. At least one of the first and second removable caps are re-installable on one of the first and second ends of the double-ended lancet unit. The unit is installable on the lancet device and each of the first and second needles or the pointed ends is structured and arranged to prick a user's skin to obtain a blood sample and is not usable for fluid injection.

  • Patent number: 6887253
    Abstract: A lancet depth adjustment assembly structured to be used use with a lancet device of the type including a lancet disposed movably within a housing so as to pass into a piercing orientation wherein a piercing tip of the lancet protrudes from a piercing aperture defined in the housing. The lancet depth adjustment assembly includes a depth adjustment element movably secured in overlying relation to the piercing aperture of the housing and having a piercing access structured to permit passage of the piercing tip of the lancet therethrough. The depth adjustment element is structured to be interposed between a finger of a patient and the piercing aperture so as to define a spacing therebetween, and accordingly define a depth to which the piercing tip, which protrudes a defined amount from the housing, penetrates the body part.
