Handheld, multiple-use devices designed to be used in combination with a single-use needle/blade insert to puncture the skin for the purpose of obtaining a drop of capillary blood. These devices typically incorporate a triggering mechanism that when primed and activated, automatically extends the needle/blade insert to the appropriate skin penetration depth before retracting the needle/blade back within the body of the lancing device. Lancing devices typically incorporate the ability for the user to adjust the needle/blade penetration depth.
