LANCING DEVICE END CAP WITH SKIN-ENGAGING JAWS

摘要

An endcap for a lancing device, the endcap (10) comprising a contact face (22) for contact with the skin around a sampling site, and a slot (20) across the contact face (22) to form an opposed pair of jaws (30a,b) that can be pinched toward one another and will resiliently spring back apart when released, thereby alternately pinching and tensioning tissue around the sampling site to enhance sample collection and prevent premature wound closure.
