AgaMatrix ultra thin lancets 33G - 200 Lancets

AgaMatrix Ultra-Thin Lancets 33G – 200 Lancets are sterile, single-use lancets engineered for capillary blood sampling, most commonly used for blood glucose monitoring in diabetes care. These lancets feature a 33 g ultra-fine needle (approximately 0.2 mm) designed to help minimise discomfort and deliver reliable blood samples for accurate testing.

Each lancet comes with a pull-off protective cover that makes handling easy and offers a simple way to re-cap after use for safe disposal. The pack of 200 provides excellent value and is suitable for frequent testing regimes.

These lancets are compatible with the AgaMatrix lancing device and any standard Type A lancing device, giving flexibility if you already have a preferred sampler.

Brand: AgaMatrix — established manufacturer of diabetes care products including glucose monitoring accessories.

Pack Size: 200 sterile lancets

Gauge: 33 G ultra-thin (0.2 mm) 

1. Prepare: Wash and dry hands thoroughly before sampling to reduce the risk of infection and improve sample quality.
2. Remove lancet: Take one sterile AgaMatrix lancet from the pack.
3. Load into device: Insert the lancet into a compatible lancing device according to the manufacturer’s instructions — this could be an AgaMatrix or any Type A universal lancet device.
4. Prepare the site: Choose a side-finger or approved alternate site and position the lancing device.
5. Prick: Activate the lancing device as directed to obtain a small drop of blood.
6. Collect sample: Apply the blood drop immediately to your blood glucose test strip or diagnostic device per its instructions.
7. Dispose safely: Lancets are for single use only. Place used lancets into an approved sharps disposal container in line with UK clinical waste guidance.

Tip: Rotate sampling sites to prevent local irritation and ensure more consistent results.

As medical device consumables, AgaMatrix Ultra-Thin Lancets do not contain pharmaceutical ingredients. They are manufactured from high-quality materials specifically designed for safe skin puncture and sample collection:

• Sterile stainless-steel needle (33 g / ~0.2 mm) — ultra-thin for reduced puncture force and comfort.

• Plastic hub and protective cap — maintains sterility until use and assists insertion into a lancing device.

There are no active medicinal components; the product is a device accessory used to obtain capillary blood for diagnostic testing.

Warnings & Precautions

• Single-Use Only: Each lancet is sterile and for single use. Do not reuse lancets — reuse increases the risk of infection and tissue trauma.

• Sterility: Do not use if the protective cap or packaging has been compromised, as sterility may be lost.

• For capillary sampling only: These lancets are intended solely for obtaining capillary blood samples for testing using a compatible metre or device.

• Safe disposal: Used lancets must be placed directly into a sharps disposal container and not disposed of in household waste, in line with UK clinical waste guidelines.

• Keep out of reach of children: Unused and used lancets pose a risk of injury if accessible to children or pets.

• Device compatibility: Use with a compatible lancing device designed to accept Type A lancets; incompatible use may impact performance or cause damage.

Possible Local Effects

• Mild discomfort or brief pain at the puncture site is common with lancet use.

• Redness or minor bleeding may occur; this is usually short-lived if proper technique is used.

• Persistent irritation, swelling, warmth or discharge at the puncture site may indicate infection — if observed, seek advice from a pharmacist or healthcare professional.

When to Seek Advice

If you experience difficulty obtaining sufficient blood despite correct technique, ongoing pain, or signs of infection at sampling sites, consult your pharmacist or clinician. For device or product performance concerns, contact the supplier or relevant reporting body in the UK.
