ABSTRACT:
A one-time-use, self-powered, disposable lancet apparatus packaged both as strips comprising a plurality of lancets and as individually packaged lancets. A novel lancet blade design comprises means for attaching each blade in a loader stack for an automated assembly machine. Individually packaged lancets are disclosed in both one-step and two-step embodiments. In each case, every lancet comprises a self-contained package which houses a powered lancet blade before use and a spent blade after use to assure safety from inadvertent sticks both before and after a lancing procedure.
