The Smiths Medical 1025-1 Safe-T-Lance Microflow Lancet is designed to deliver precise, consistent, and low-pain capillary blood sampling. Engineered with a 28-gauge ultra-fine needle, this push-button activated safety lancet ensures controlled penetration depth and reliable blood flow for micro-sampling procedures. It is particularly suitable for neonatal, pediatric, and low-volume blood collection applications where accuracy and patient comfort are critical.
This single-use, fully enclosed lancet eliminates the risk of accidental needle exposure before and after use, making it an ideal solution for healthcare professionals focused on safety, compliance, and efficiency. With 200 lancets per box and 10 boxes per case, it supports high-volume clinical environments while maintaining consistent performance across every use.
Key Benefits
The ultra-fine 28G needle minimizes patient discomfort, making it suitable for sensitive populations such as infants and elderly patients. The push-button activation mechanism allows for quick, one-handed operation, improving workflow efficiency in fast-paced clinical settings.
The pre-set penetration depth ensures consistent sampling results while reducing variability between users. Its microflow design enables adequate blood collection with minimal tissue trauma, reducing the need for repeat punctures.
The fully enclosed safety mechanism prevents accidental needlestick injuries, supporting infection control protocols and protecting healthcare staff. Each lancet is sterile and individually packaged to maintain hygiene and reliability.
Compatibility and Applications
This lancet is compatible with standard capillary blood collection procedures and is widely used in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and point-of-care testing environments. It is suitable for glucose monitoring, neonatal screening, hemoglobin testing, and other diagnostic applications requiring small blood volumes.
The Safe-T-Lance Microflow lancet is particularly effective for neonatal heel sticks, pediatric finger pricks, and geriatric care where patient comfort and controlled sampling are essential. It integrates seamlessly into routine workflows without the need for additional devices or holders.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, ensure the puncture site is properly cleaned and prepared according to clinical protocols. Remove the protective cap and position the lancet firmly against the selected site.
Activate the device by pressing the push button. The needle will automatically puncture and retract, ensuring safe and controlled sampling. Dispose of the lancet immediately after use in an approved sharps container.
Do not reuse the lancet, as it is designed for single-use only. Always follow institutional guidelines for infection control and sharps disposal.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The Smiths Medical Safe-T-Lance Microflow Lancet is manufactured in compliance with stringent medical device standards. It meets applicable ISO requirements for sterile, single-use devices and adheres to global safety regulations for sharps protection.
Each lancet is gamma sterilized and sealed to ensure product integrity. The device is designed to support OSHA guidelines for needlestick prevention and workplace safety in healthcare environments.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared to traditional lancets, the Safe-T-Lance Microflow offers a superior safety profile due to its fully enclosed, auto-retracting needle design. Unlike reusable or manually triggered lancets, it reduces the risk of accidental injury and cross-contamination.
Its consistent penetration depth provides more reliable sampling results compared to adjustable or spring-loaded alternatives that may vary between users. The push-button activation also simplifies operation, making it more user-friendly than twist-cap or multi-step devices.
Additionally, the microflow technology ensures efficient blood collection with less discomfort, giving it an advantage over standard lancets that may require multiple attempts.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is ideal for healthcare professionals including nurses, phlebotomists, laboratory technicians, and physicians who require safe and efficient capillary blood collection tools. It is commonly used in neonatal units, pediatric clinics, outpatient centers, and diagnostic laboratories.
It is also suitable for home healthcare providers and long-term care facilities where ease of use and patient comfort are essential. The lancet supports routine monitoring as well as specialized testing scenarios requiring precise micro-sampling.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the lancets in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the packaging for integrity before use to ensure sterility.
Use proper site selection techniques to optimize blood flow and minimize discomfort. Avoid excessive pressure on the puncture site, as this may affect sample quality.
Dispose of used lancets immediately in designated sharps containers. Do not attempt to recap or reuse the device under any circumstances.
