ABSTRACT:
A lancet comprising a lancet body having a needle end protruding from a lancet end, and a needle protector for protecting the protruding needle end before use, the needle protector comprising a hood portion tightly fittable on the lancet end from which the needle end protrudes in such a manner that the hood may be fitted over the lancet end to the needle end to substantially insulate the needle end from the environment after use. The lancet body and the needle protector may be integrally molded, and separated before use to expose the needle end. After use, the hood of the protector may be fitted over the lancet end. Thus, the lancet as a whole can be disposed in a safer manner than the prior art lancets.
