GlucoRx 30g / 1.6mm Safety Lancets - 100 Pack

GlucoRx 30g / 1.6mm Safety Lancets – Pack of 100 are sterile, single-use pressure-activated blood lancets designed to deliver precise and comfortable capillary blood sampling for blood glucose monitoring and point-of-care tests. These safety lancets incorporate a one-click activation mechanism that ensures consistent skin penetration, helping to provide reliable blood samples with minimal discomfort.

The 30g / 1.6 mm needle size is particularly suitable for users who require a smaller sample volume, such as children, adults with petite fingers, or anyone seeking reduced puncture depth for comfort. These lancets are widely used for home self-monitoring of blood glucose as well as in professional settings such as GP surgeries, community clinics and primary care environments.

Brand: GlucoRx – UK diabetes care and diagnostics supplier.

Pack Size: 100 safety lancets.

Needle Gauge / Depth: 30g / 1.6 mm for minimal-discomfort sampling. 

1. Prepare lancet device: Use a licensed lancing device compatible with standard safety lancets. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before sampling.
2. Insert the lancet: Twist off the protective cap of a lancet and insert it into the lancing device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Select depth & activate: Adjust lancing device depth (if applicable) and press the device firmly against the chosen puncture site (typically fingertip). Press the activation button for a one-click lancet puncture.
4. Collect blood sample: Allow a drop of capillary blood to form and proceed with your blood glucose meter test or other diagnostic test as required.
5. Dispose safely: Do not reuse lancets. After use, dispose of the lancet in an approved sharps bin in line with UK clinical waste guidance.

Best Practice Tips:

• For more accurate glucose readings, warm hands before sampling and cleanse the site as recommended by your healthcare professional.

• Always follow both the lancet device and glucose metre manufacturer’s instructions to ensure correct operation.

As a medical device accessory, GlucoRx safety lancets do not contain nutritional or medicinal “ingredients.” Their construction comprises materials engineered for safety and sterility:

• Stainless Steel Needle: Sterile 30 gauge (30g / 1.6 mm) needle for precise skin puncture.
• Plastic Barrel & Safety Mechanism: Pressure-activated design that encases the needle until use to reduce accidental pricks.
• Protective Cap & Sterile Packaging: Ensures sterility and safe handling prior to use.

These materials are designed to minimise contamination and support hygienic blood sampling. Follow the instructions provided with your lancet device for safe insertion and activation.

Warnings & Precautions

• Single-Use Only: Lancets are for single use only and should never be reused — reuse increases risk of infection and inaccurate sampling.

• Sterility: Ensure lancets are used before the expiry date printed on the packaging and that the protective cap has not been compromised prior to use.

• Safe Disposal: Dispose of used lancets in an approved sharps container compliant with local clinical waste regulations. Never dispose of a lancet in general household waste.

• Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience minor discomfort, redness or mild irritation at the puncture site; this is expected with lancet use. Discontinue use and seek advice if persistent irritation, swelling or signs of infection occur.

• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Keep unopened packages and used sharps containers out of the reach and sight of children and pets.

When to Seek Advice

Seek guidance from a pharmacist or healthcare professional if:

• You are unsure how to use a lancet device or interpret test results.

• You experience unusual pain, bleeding that does not stop, or signs of infection at sampling sites.

• You have a medical condition affecting skin integrity or healing.
