Lancets are the small, sterile needles used with a lancing device to draw a blood drop for glucose testing. OneTouch lancets are designed to fit OneTouch lancing devices for a consistent, low-pain finger prick.
Each lancet is single-use, using a fresh lancet for every test keeps the prick sharp and reduces the risk of infection. Order online for fast delivery across Doha and Qatar, or ask a PharmaCare pharmacist for guidance on choosing the right gauge for your skin type.
Choosing the Right Lancet
Lancets come in different gauges — the thinner the gauge number is high (e.g. 30G), the finer the needle and the less it tends to hurt, though thicker gauges may draw blood more easily for some testing routines. Most people testing at home do well with a standard fine-gauge lancet such as the OneTouch Delica Plus.
How to Use a Lancet Safely
Wash and dry your hands before testing — this improves both hygiene and reading accuracy. Load a fresh lancet into your lancing device each time, prick the side of your fingertip rather than the pad, and dispose of the used lancet in a sharps container, not the regular bin. Never reuse a lancet, even on yourself, as the tip dulls and the sterility can't be guaranteed after first use.
Compatible Devices
OneTouch lancets are designed to work with OneTouch lancing devices, including the Delica and Delica Plus range. If you're not sure your current lancing device is compatible, a pharmacist can confirm before you order.
