Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between 28 Gauge and 33 Gauge lancets?
The gauge refers to the thickness of the needle. A 28-gauge needle is slightly thicker than a 30-gauge or 33-gauge needle. The 28G size is often preferred by individuals with thicker skin, calluses, or those who need a slightly larger blood sample for their specific test strips.
Can I use these with non-Abbott lancing devices?
No. These lancets are specifically designed for use exclusively with Abbott lancing devices. We recommend checking our compatibility guide to ensure you are purchasing the correct lancets for your specific lancing device.
How often should I change my lancet?
You should use a new, sterile lancet for every single test. Reusing a lancet dulls the micro-tip, which can cause unnecessary pain, tissue damage, and increases the risk of infection.
