LANCING DEVICE END CAP WITH FLEXING CONTACT ELEMENTS

摘要

An endcap (10) for a lancing device having at least one flexible finger (22) for manipulating tissue at the sampling site. Pressing the lancing device against the skin at the lancing site flexes the finger (22) inwardly or outwardly to pinch or tension the skin, directing subcutaneous blood-flow toward the sampling site and preventing premature wound closure.
