McKesson 28G Push-Button Safety Lancets 1.5mm
McKesson 28 Gauge Push-Button Safety Lancets – 1.5 mm (100 per Box)
Overview
McKesson Push-Button Safety Lancets make routine fingertip sampling quick, comfortable, and clean. Each lancet is a self-contained, single-use device — press the button and the needle fires and retracts in one smooth motion, with no separate lancing device to load. That simplicity makes them a practical choice for professional and multi-user stations, on-the-go kits, and everyday home routines alike.
The 28 gauge needle pairs a fine diameter with a 1.5 mm fixed depth to draw an adequate sample while keeping the stick gentle. A sterility tab keeps each needle covered and protected until the moment of use, and the retractable, self-destructing mechanism helps prevent accidental re-exposure afterward.

- Retractable, self-destructing mechanism for reliable single-use safety.
- Gamma-sterilized needle kept covered and protected by a sterility tab until use.
- Electro-polished, silicone-coated needle with high puncture speed for smoother sampling.

Gauge and depth are the two numbers that shape the experience: a higher gauge number means a finer needle, and 1.5 mm is a moderate depth that balances a comfortable stick with enough sample for most fingertip testing. If a station serves a range of users, keeping a single fixed-depth option like this one simplifies training and restocking. For multi-user or high-traffic settings, the case quantity is the more economical way to keep a steady supply on hand.

Do I need a separate lancing device?
No. This is a self-contained safety lancet — press the button to activate it. There's no lancing device to load and nothing to assemble, which makes it quick to use and easy to hand off in shared settings.
What do the 28 gauge and 1.5 mm numbers mean for comfort?
The gauge describes needle thickness — a higher number is finer — and the depth controls how far it goes. At 28 gauge and a 1.5 mm fixed depth, this lancet aims for a gentle, comfortable stick while still drawing enough sample for typical fingertip testing.
Can a lancet be reused?
No. Each lancet is single-use. The retractable, self-destructing mechanism activates after firing so the needle can't be used again, which supports safe, hygienic handling and disposal.
