Lancets are the sharp bits that are used
to prick yourself, to draw a small drop of blood, to test for
glucose if you are diabetic. You can prick yourself with these
on their own if you are brave, but most people find it much
easier to use these lancets in a lancing device.
Lancing devices are the things that hold the
lancets firmly, and when you click them they prick your skin
in a very controlled way. You can usually adjust the depth
that they prick, and so make sure that this only goes in as
deep as you need. Different areas of skin will need different
adjustments depending how thick your skin is.
Lancets are designed to be used once, and then thrown
away. Even using them once will cause them to blunt
slightly, and blunt lancets cause more pain.
Dispose of your used lancets safely. They
should not be put into your household trash, but must be disposed
of by a registered collector of clinical 'sharps' waste. Remember
that they have your blood on a very sharp tip, and nobody else
wants to be pricked by this, as infections can easily be passed
on in this way.
