A lancet for a skin pricker, the lancet having a plastics body integrally moulded with a breakaway cap (4) around a needle, the cap having an elongate stem aligned with the needle and with an end encasing the needle tip, the latter being exposed when the cap is removed, wherein the stem has a zone of weakness (20,21) whereby longitudinal compression of the cap above a predetermined level will cause the stem to buckle. |
