Our Role

• Design a low cost lancet with features normally limited to premium-priced lancets for use in a glucose monitoring kit.

Unique Features and Accomplishments

• Developed a unique design that minimized the number of components without sacrificing premium lancet device functions such as adjustable depth selection and other features intended to minimize pain.
• Required at least two fewer components than all competing lancet devices, resulting in a substantially lower cost per unit.
• Designed an attractive, easy to use product that stands out from most lancet devices, which are typically plain and lack quality ergonomics.
• US Patent application # 60,553,223
