A lancing mechanism for puncturing skin is provided. The lancing mechanism comprises a lance having a penetration end which is adapted to puncture skin. The penetration end of the lance is movable from a first position to a second position during a forward stroke and between the second position and the first position during a return stroke. A forcing plunger applies a force to the lance to move the lance from the first position to the second during the forward stroke. The forcing plunger is adapted to engage the lance during the forward stroke to move the penetration end of the lance from the first position to the second position and to disengage the lance when the penetration end of the lance approaches the second position. A first resilient member coupled to the lance moves the first end of the lance from the second position to the first position during the return stroke. |
