What OneTouch® Ultra Soft Lancets Are and How They Work

These soft lancets create a tiny puncture to produce a small blood drop for your glucose meter. They fit the OneTouch UltraSoft lancing device and are designed to balance comfort with reliable penetration. A common gauge size for Ultra Soft Lancets is 28-gauge, offering a fine needle that helps reduce fingertip soreness when used correctly. For routine Blood Glucose Testing, lancets help provide consistent samples when paired with an appropriate meter and test strips.

Who OneTouch® Ultra Soft Lancets Are For

These lancets are intended for people who measure blood glucose at home or on the go. They are suitable for adults and adolescents who use a OneTouch lancing device and meter as part of a diabetes care plan. Individuals who bruise easily, have bleeding disorders, or use anticoagulant therapy should talk with a clinician about lancet use and sampling sites. Lancets are not toys and should be kept away from children. For broader diabetes tools and education, see our category for Diabetes and the overview article Glucose Monitors And Meters.

Dosage and Usage

Use one new lancet for each glucose check. Insert the lancet into your OneTouch UltraSoft lancing device as directed, twist off the cap, and set the depth. Clean the site and use the side of the fingertip for most tests. After lancing, wipe away the first drop if instructed by your clinician, then collect a fresh drop for your test strip. Dispose of the used lancet in an approved sharps container immediately after use. Follow the instructions included with your lancing device for proper loading, priming, and safety.

Strengths and Forms

Common presentations include:

• Box of 100 lancets (often listed as OneTouch Ultra Soft Lancets 100 count or 100s box)
• Typically 28-gauge needle size for comfortable sampling
• Individual sterile, single-use lancets with protective caps

Availability may vary by fulfillment pharmacy. The Ultra Soft Lancets are designed for the OneTouch UltraSoft lancing device. Always check the box and device instructions for exact compatibility details.

Missed Dose and Timing

There is no “dose,” but timing matters for your glucose monitoring plan. If a scheduled test is missed, perform the test when remembered and resume your regular schedule. Do not reuse a lancet to make up for a missed check. Reuse can dull the tip and increase irritation or infection risk.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store lancets in their original box at room temperature in a dry place. Keep them capped and away from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures. When traveling, pack enough lancets for the full trip and a few extras in case of delays. Keep lancets and your meter in carry-on luggage. After each test, place the used lancet in a portable sharps container. For disposal guidance, see FDA recommendations on safe sharps handling: FDA Safe Sharps Disposal.

Benefits

OneTouch Ultra Soft Lancets are designed for daily use, helping provide consistent blood samples with less fingertip discomfort when used properly. A fine gauge helps reduce pain, while the protective cap promotes sterile handling. The lancets are compatible with the OneTouch UltraSoft lancing device, supporting a simple workflow alongside your OneTouch meter and strips. They can be used at home, work, or while traveling, and are widely recognized in diabetes care. Many users prefer soft lancets for routine checks due to comfort and reliability. OneTouch UltraSoft Lancets (also written as OneTouch UltraSoft) are part of a familiar system for people who test regularly.

Side Effects and Safety

• Mild fingertip pain or soreness at the puncture site
• Small bruises or redness
• Skin irritation or callus formation with frequent testing
• Occasional bleeding that lasts longer than expected

Serious effects are uncommon but can include infection or significant bleeding, especially in people with bleeding disorders or on blood thinners. Use a new lancet for each test, avoid sharing any lancing device, and keep all components clean according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If pain, swelling, drainage, or signs of infection occur at lancing sites, contact a clinician.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Lancets are devices and do not have drug interactions. However, certain medicines and conditions can increase bleeding or bruising. Discuss lancing and sampling frequency with a clinician if you take anticoagulants, have peripheral neuropathy, poor circulation, or chronic skin conditions. Use the correct lancing depth for your skin type to reduce soreness and improve sampling success. Do not share lancing devices under any circumstance.

What to Expect Over Time

With proper technique and a suitable depth setting, you can expect small, consistent blood drops and steady performance over many tests. Fingertips may toughen slightly with frequent testing. Rotating fingers and using the sides of fingertips can help maintain comfort. As part of a complete monitoring routine, a reliable lancet helps ensure accurate readings when paired with compatible strips and a calibrated meter. For additional context on meter types, see Glucose Monitors And Meters.

Compare With Alternatives

Several brands offer comparable soft lancets and integrated systems. If you prefer a lancet with a different feel or device, consider Accu Chek® Softclix or Microlet® Lancets. Accu-Chek Softclix is known for precise depth control in its paired device. Microlet lancets have a distinctive cap design and are used with compatible Bayer/Ascensia devices. Cartridge-based options like FastClix may appeal to users who prefer rapid lancet changes within a drum system.

Patient Suitability and Cost Saving Tips

OneTouch Ultra Soft Lancets are appropriate for people who perform routine fingerstick testing and use a OneTouch lancing device. They may not be ideal for individuals with very thick skin or those who need alternate-site testing without the appropriate device. If fingertip discomfort is a concern, ask about depth settings, alternate sites, or different lancet gauges.

• Order a multi-box supply to reduce per-box cost and limit reorders.
• Set a refill reminder so you do not run out during travel.
• Match lancets to your lancing device to avoid waste from returns.
• Keep a spare box in your travel kit for continuity of care.
• Confirm the OneTouch Ultra Soft Lancets compatibility with your specific OneTouch lancing device before checkout.
