MULTI-LANCET DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for collecting samples of body fluids, comprising at least one lancet, which has a lancet body with at least two tips of different length. The device is characterized in that it has a selection means, with the aid of which only one tip is selected prior to the puncture procedure. This selection means can have different functions and shapes. The selection means is used to select one tip from a plurality of lancet tips of different lengths and to make only this tip available for use in the puncturing procedure. Since the various tips are mounted on a lancet body, it is possible to employ a buckling element, for example, to make only one lancet tip available for use, which buckling element buckles one of the various tips out from the plane of the lancet body. This is especially preferable in lancet tips that are arranged linearly in relation to one another.
