ABSTRACT:
A low cost safety lancet device for creating a skin incision. The lancet contains a unitarily formed plastic body, thereby making the lancet device easy to manufacture at a low cost. The lancet device includes a housing having an internal hollow and a blade beam pivotally disposed within the hollow of the housing for generating an incision in a patient's skin. Upon the activation of the device, the blade beam pivots through a predetermined path which causes a blade associated with the blade beam to travel out of an aperture in the housing to incise the patient's skin. The device further includes a trigger for propelling the blade through the path and a cam projection disposed within the housing which cooperates with the trigger to accelerate the trigger through the hollow of the housing thereby causing the blade to accelerate through the aperture of the housing. A portion of the trigger then unavoidably deflects to automatically allow the blade to retract back into the hollow of the casing after incising the patient's skin.
