A lancet device (10) including a housing (20) with an at least partially ope n interior, a cocking seat (30) moveably coupled with the housing and structur ed to define an open interior therewith, a lancet with a piercing tip (42) moveably disposed within the open interior, and a biasing assembly (50) engaging the lancet. The cocking seat (30) is structured to engage the lance t (10) and move the lancet against a force of the biasing assembly (50) so as to increase a potential energy of the biasing assembly.(50). A release element (56) is provided to at least partially disengage the lancet from the cocking seat such that the potential energy of the biasing assembly moves the lancet relative to the cocking seat and drives the piercing tip of the lancet at least temporarily into a piercing orientation. |
