STAT-LET? Auto Safety Lancets - Makes Diabetes Testing
Easy!
Stat Medical Hardware, Inc (SMD) was founded in 1988 and is a
leader in developing and distributing innovative medical devices.
Their emphasis is on lancets, lancing devices and clinical,
capillary blood sampling devices.
The Stat-Let Auto Lancets are available in 5 different systems
to accomodate your blood sampling necessity. They feature very
simple one-step function, non-reuse safety feature. These lancet
devices are indivually wrapped, and they are packaged in boxes of
100.
In our home care agency, we use these to test the blood sugar
of many of our senior citizens who cannot do their own testing
while they are on service with our agency. What's great about
these lancets is that you do not have to place them in lancing
pens. They are individually wrapped and ready to dispose of when
you are finished with testing on your finger.
This type of lancet is innovative because sometimes when you
are using a lancet pen device, it is difficult to manipulate. You
have to be able to remove the top to the lancing device, place a
lancet in the lancing pen, close the pen, make sure the pen is
ready to use and then click on your finger to get a blood
sample.
This may be difficult for seniors with arthritic problems or
deformed fingers related to arthritis. Sometimes people do not
want to be bothered with setting up the lancet pen--too much of a
hassle.
The Stat-Let Auto Lancets make it easy to attain a blood
sample from the finger.
There are 5 different models for different depths depending on
whether you are testing on an adult, child or infant.
Auto Pediatric lancet 1.8mm Depth-26 gauge
Auto Comfort Lancet 1.8mm Depth-21 gauge
Auto Normal Lancet 2.4mm Depth-21 gauge
Auto Extra Lancet 3.0mm Depth-21 gauge
Auto Neonatal/Heelstick 1.2mm Depth-18 gauge
As you can see that the higher the mm, the deeper the lancing
devices penetrates into the finger. If you have calloused fingers
or you have difficulty in getting a good blood supply, you would
want to go with the Auto Extra Lancet with the 3.0mm Depth-21
gauge.
There are different colors for each of the different
lancets.
All you have to do is:
**Remove the protective cap
**Place the Stat-Let Auto lancet onto your test site.
**Push firmly against your test site and the needle is
automatically released.
**After use dispose in suitable "sharps" container.
That's it. If a loved one doesn't want to do their blood sugar
because the lancet pen is a hassle or too difficult to
manipulate, this may be the answer you have been searching
for.
