Simple, Controlled Finger-Prick Blood Sampling
Unistik 3 Normal is a sterile, single-use lancet designed to obtain a small capillary blood sample. Its pre-set needle and side-fire activation make it a practical choice for routine finger-prick testing at home, including blood glucose monitoring and tests that require a finger-prick sample.
The Normal version is the yellow Unistik 3 lancet. It uses a 23G needle with a pre-set penetration depth of 1.8mm and is designed to provide a medium blood flow. Always check the sample volume required by your test kit before choosing a lancet.
Key Benefits
Pre-Set Needle For Consistent Sampling
The needle depth is pre-set, so there is no depth adjustment to make before use. The side-fire button allows you to activate the device when it is correctly positioned against the skin.
Comfort Zone Technology®
Eight raised contact points around the lancet tip stimulate the skin before activation. This design is intended to help reduce the discomfort associated with finger-prick sampling, although individual experiences will vary.
Sterile, Single-Use Design
Each lancet has a twist-off protective cap and is intended for one use only. Using a fresh sterile lancet for each sample helps support hygienic testing.
Which Unistik 3 Lancet Should I Choose?
Unistik 3 Normal is intended for routine sampling where a medium blood flow is needed. The range also includes Unistik 3 Comfort, Unistik 3 Gentle and Unistik 3 Extra. These are different lancet variants rather than pack sizes. Check the specifications and the sample requirements of your test before selecting one.
How To Use
- Wash your hands with soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly.
- Check that the lancet’s protective cap is intact. Do not use it if the packaging or device appears damaged.
- Twist off the protective cap, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Place the lancet firmly against the recommended sampling site and press the side-fire activation button.
- Collect the sample as directed by your test kit or healthcare professional.
- Dispose of the used lancet immediately in an appropriate sharps container. Do not reuse or share it.
Follow the instructions supplied with your lancets and the test kit being used. If you are unsure about where or how to take a sample, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Unistik 3 Normal may be suitable for people collecting capillary blood samples for routine tests, including certain glucose, cholesterol and home blood tests, provided the test requires a compatible sample volume. It is also useful for anyone who prefers a self-contained, single-use finger-pricking device rather than a reusable lancing pen.
Not every home test needs the same amount of blood. Check the instructions for your particular test, especially where a larger or smaller sample is required.
