Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005034721
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
An endcap (10) for a lancing device. The endcap (10) has a substantially planar contact face (20) surrounding an opening (16) for passing a lancet tip. The contact face (20) has a length substantially greater than its with, and at least one side edge along its length. The user tips the lancing device to bring a side edge into contact with the skin several inches from the intended sampling site, draws the contact face (20) along the skin toward the sampling site, and lances the skin to obtain a fluid sample. The contact face (20) can be repeatedly drawn along the skin toward the sampling site to stimulate blood-flow until the desired sample size is obtained.
