PRODUCT DETAILS

Description:

A contour lancing device is a medical tool used for collecting blood samples for glucose monitoring, primarily by individuals with diabetes. The device is designed to prick the skin, typically on the finger, to obtain a small blood sample that can be analyzed using a blood glucose meter. This is commonly done to monitor blood sugar levels and adjust insulin or other diabetes management strategies as necessary.

Uses:

It is used to monitor blood glucose level in diabetic patients.
