PCT No. PCT/GB97/02165 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 24, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 24, 1999 PCT Filed Aug. 12, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/06331 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 19, 1998A skin pricker has a body (1) with a spring-loaded lancet holder (4) with a forward facing socket (20) to receive the rear end of a lancet. The socket (20) is radially expandable/compressible and the spring-loading is a coil spring (5) part of which embraces the socket and tends to close it up. This allows lancets of slightly varying diameters to be firmly held. The pricker is primed by pressing a lancet into the socket (20), which urges the holder (4) back to be releasably held by a trigger mechanism (3, 9).
