Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets are specially designed for capillary blood sampling. The needle tip of each lancet is capped within medical rubber to maintain full sterilisation & is fully shielded before & after use to prevent needle-stick injuries. It cannot be re-capped after use, giving a clear indication that it has been used & requires disposing in a sharps container. Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets feature an auto polished, smooth tri-bevelled needle point that ensures precision & reduces the force required to penetrate the skin. Along with the patented, pressure activated linear needle track that prevents needle vibrations & ensures high speed penetration, this enables maximum patient comfort. Apollo Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets 28G are violet, have a depth of 1.8mm & are designed for low flow 10-20ul glucose tests.
