Easy & convenient way to take a blood sample

The Unistik 3 Normal Single-Use Safety Lancet provides a simple and controlled way to obtain a capillary blood sample. Designed for ease of use, it features a side-fire activation button and an alignment guide, allowing precise placement and controlled activation.

With a 23-gauge needle and a 1.8mm depth, this lancet is suitable for medium blood flow applications, including glucose, cholesterol, HbA1c, and INR testing.

For added comfort, Unistik 3 incorporates Comfort Zone Technology®, which uses eight raised pressure points on the contact surface to send a message of comfort to the brain, helping to minimise the sensation of pain.

Once activated, the needle retracts automatically, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. A built-in lockout feature ensures the device cannot be reused, promoting safe and hygienic disposal.

Unistik 3 is a practical choice for healthcare professionals and individuals requiring a safe and reliable lancing solution.
