Dr.Odin Lancets 30G Strips

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many times can Dr.Odin lancets be used?
  Lancets are for single use only due to hygienic reasons and because the needle will become dull with repeated use. Hence a new, sterile lancet should be used each time you perform a test.
• What does the letter G mean in lancets?
  G stands for Gauge. The thickness of the lancet is measured in millimeters (mm) or Gauge (G). The higher the value in mm, the thicker the puncture performed by the lancet.
• What is 30G lancet?
  A device which is used to prick the skin for drawing blood samples for testing blood glucose levels.
• Which finger is used for pricking in Dr.Odin lancets?
  The middle or ring finger is preferred as having the greatest depth of tissue beneath the skin and hence offering the least chances of injury.
• Can Lancets transmit disease?
  Finger-pricking devices are safe when individuals are using their own device. A risk of cross-infection can only occur when the blood of an infected patient remains on the device and contaminates the sharp lancet as it pierces the skin of the next patient.
