MULTI-LANCET UNIT, METHOD AND LANCET DEVICE USING THE MULTI-LANCET UNIT, AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AND/OR MAKING THE MULTI-LANCET UNIT

摘要

A lancet device includes a housing, a trigger, a system for placing the lancet device in a trigger-set or armed position, and a multi-lancet unit comprising a plurality of lancets arranged one in front of the other and positioned in the housing. Each lancet includes a front end, a needle which extends from the front end, and a rear end. The front end of at least one of the plurality lancets is removably connected to the rear end of another of the plurality of lancets. A method of puncturing a surface of skin using the lancet device includes arranging the lancet device adjacent against a user's skin and triggering the lancet device so that one of the plurality of lancet is caused to penetrate the user's skin.
