Lancet device and case therefor

摘要

A lancet device comprises a puncture needle (5) and a sterilizer to sterilize the needle. The needle is moved to a lancing position by using a drive spring (2), which is released by a trigger (4). The sterilizer includes a heater (16), a radiation source to irradiate the needle with an ultraviolet or infrared ray, or a chemical agent unit for applying an antiseptic solution to the needle. Independent claims are included for: (1) a case for accommodating the device; and (2) accommodating the device in the case.
