CoaguChek Lancets for Blood Sugar Testing: Safety Engineered, Easy to Use
Posted by Deb Spinelli on June 24, 2019
For those living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, checking blood sugar throughout the day is important to make sure glucose levels stay within an acceptable range and do not become dangerously high or low. A glucometer is a portable device that allows one to easily monitor their blood sugar at home or on the go. To obtain a blood sample for testing with a glucometer, a patient will need to use lancets such as CoaguChek lancets. A lancet is a tiny needle that is used to prick the skin in order to collect a small specimen of blood for blood sugar testing. To make the collection of a blood sample easier and less painful, one may choose to use a lancing device along with the lancet. A lancing device quickly "punches" the needle into the skin so as to cause as little discomfort as possible during a finger prick. Once a blood sample has been collected with the lancet and lancing device, the next step is to put it on a glucose meter strip. With most glucometers, this strip should already be inserted into the machine, and the results will appear on the screen within seconds once the blood sample has been placed on the test strip. After the individual has recorded their reading, they can then safely dispose of the lancet, test strip and any other single-use supplies they used to check their glucose levels. How CoaguChek Lancets Promote Safe & Simple Blood Sugar Testing CoaguChek lancets comply fully with all OSHA requirements for safe needle devices. These single-use lancets are considered by many healthcare professionals to be the superior choice for blood sugar testing because they are safety-engineered for patient and staff protection. CoaguChek lancets feature T-shaped safety wing tabs which break off after use to lower the chance of accidental finger sticks. Plus, the lancets permanently retract into a protective case following use to help prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infection.
