Lancets

摘要

A lancet has a generally tubular body ( 1 ). A hollow insert ( 4 ) with a closed end plugs one end of the body ( 1 ), and it has a co-axial projection ( 5 ) forming a sharp tip proud of that end of the body. The body ( 1 ) and insert ( 4 ) are simultaneously formed by twin shot moulding, the body being of polyethylene and the insert being of a liquid crystal polymer which will create a sharp tip of adequate strength.
