Microlet® Lancets for Blood Glucose Monitoring

These sterile lancets are designed for fingertip capillary sampling during routine checks. They fit compatible lancing devices used in home blood glucose monitoring. You can access US delivery from Canada and compare options even if you need Microlet lancets without insurance.

What Microlet Is and How It Works

Microlet® lancets are single-use, silicone-coated lancets intended to pierce the skin with a consistent depth. A compatible device holds the lancet, sets the depth, and triggers a quick puncture to obtain a small blood drop. Blood Glucose Testing relies on a clean, precise sample, and fresh lancets help reduce discomfort and contamination risk.

Bayer Contour Microlet Lancets are commonly paired with Contour lancing devices and meters. The lancet’s fine needle and lubricated tip are made to minimize skin trauma while supporting reliable sampling. For an overview of device basics, see What Is A Lancing Device.

These lancets support consistent performance when used as directed. Rotate sites and use clean, dry skin to help maintain comfort. Dispose of used lancets in an approved sharps container.

Who It’s For

This product is for people who perform capillary blood sampling as part of diabetes self-monitoring. It may also be used in other conditions where fingertip blood tests are ordered by a healthcare professional. Users should be comfortable operating a lancing device and following hygienic technique.

People who need Microlet compatible lancets for Contour lancing systems may consider this item. Avoid if you have known allergies to materials in the device or packaging. If you have bleeding disorders, are on anticoagulants, or have peripheral circulation issues, consult your clinician before use.

Dosage and Usage

There is no dose with lancets, but there are standard steps. Wash and dry hands. Load a new lancet into the device per device instructions. Set the depth to the lowest effective setting. Hold the device firmly against the side of the fingertip. Press the trigger to lance and obtain a small blood drop. Apply the sample to a strip immediately, then safely discard the used lancet.

Follow your lancing device’s manual for loading and ejection. Microlet Next lancing device lancets should not be reused. Reuse can dull the needle, increase pain, and raise infection risk. For meter pairing guidance, see Contour® Next Ez Meter and compatible strips such as Contour® Next Test Strips.

Strengths and Forms

These lancets are sold in sealed boxes with color-coded needles. Pack sizes often include 100 sterile lancets. Gauge availability varies by region and supplier; 30G options are commonly listed for comfort-focused use. Always check the box label for the exact gauge and pack count supplied.

Common retail packaging includes Microlet Next lancets 100 count. Other pack sizes may exist depending on manufacturer distribution and market availability.

Missed Dose and Timing

Replace the lancet whenever you prepare for a new test. If you forget to change it, stop and load a fresh, sterile lancet before lancing. Do not reuse a lancet between tests. Replacing the lancet regularly can support consistent performance and reduce the chance of skin irritation.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store lancets in their original box at room conditions, away from moisture and direct heat. Keep them clean and dry. Do not open individual covers until you are ready to use a lancet. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

During travel, carry supplies in hand luggage. Keep lancets with your meter and strips in a protective case. Bring copies of your prescriptions or a physician letter if screening is expected. Pack extra supplies in case of delays. Dispose of used lancets in a portable sharps container and follow local rules at your destination.

For meter and accessory travel tips, review category resources like Blood Glucose Meters or device-specific articles when planning your kit.

Pen Handling and Sharps Disposal

This is a lancet product, not an injection pen. Handle lancets with care. Do not touch the needle. Load and eject using your lancing device as instructed. After use, place the lancet directly into an approved sharps container. Do not throw used lancets in household trash or recycling.

• Use once only: discard after a single sampling event.
• Close the sharps container securely between uses.
• Follow local regulations for sharps disposal programs.
• Never share lancing devices or lancets with another person.

Benefits

Using fresh lancets can help reduce fingertip soreness and maintain consistent sampling. The treatment supports routine monitoring with meters you already use. Color-coded needles and a smooth tip may improve comfort and make it easier to remember changes.

• Single-use design helps limit contamination.
• Fine needle and coating aim to reduce discomfort.
• Works with popular Contour lancing devices.
• Clear packaging helps track remaining supplies.

Side Effects and Safety

Common effects may include brief pain at the site, minor bleeding, or small bruises. Using the lowest effective depth and rotating fingers may help reduce tenderness. Clean skin and new lancets support more comfortable sampling.

Serious issues are uncommon. Infection can occur if skin is not clean or if lancets are reused. People with bleeding disorders or on blood thinners may bleed longer. If you notice signs of infection, persistent bleeding, or unusual pain, seek medical attention. Do not reuse or share lancets.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Lancets are devices and do not interact with medicines the way drugs do. Still, certain therapies, such as anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or corticosteroids, may increase bruising or bleeding. Peripheral neuropathy or circulation problems can affect sensation and healing. Discuss your situation with your healthcare professional if you have concerns.

What to Expect Over Time

With regular changes and proper technique, sampling should remain quick and consistent. Fingertip sensitivity may vary; adjusting depth and using the sides of the fingertip can help. Keep supplies organized and track when boxes run low. Align lancet changes with your meter routine to support consistent monitoring habits.

Over time, most users refine their technique and finger rotation pattern. Pairing the therapy with a meter you trust can make daily checks more manageable. For broader device context, see Glucose Monitors And Meters.

Compare With Alternatives

Several lancet options can fit different devices and preferences. If your device uses a proprietary drum, consider Accu Chek Fastclix. For straight, single lancets suited to many classic devices, see Onetouch Ultra Soft. Always confirm device compatibility before switching.
