Single-use devices designed to be used in combination with a multiple-use lancing device to puncture the skin for the purpose of obtaining a drop of capillary blood. Lancing device needle/blades typically consist of a cylindrical plastic base with a short needle or blade extending from one end. The plastic base is designed to be inserted into and function with a lancing device triggering mechanism. Most lancing device needle/blades are supplied as single needle/blades, which require that a new needle/blade be loaded in the lancing device for each skin puncture; however, some lancing device needle/blades are supplied in multi-needle/blade drums, which allow multiple skin punctures to be performed before reloading of the lancing device is necessary.
