McKesson 17G Blade Safety Lancets 2.0 mm
McKesson 17 Gauge Blade Push-Button Safety Lancets — 2.0 mm (100 per Box)
The Highest-Flow Option in the Push-Button Line — Finger and Heel Rated
McKesson 17 Gauge Blade Push-Button Safety Lancets are the highest-flow option in the McKesson push-button range. Each lancet is a self-contained, single-use device — press the button and the blade fires and retracts in one smooth motion, with no separate lancing device to load. Rated for both finger and heel sampling, they suit professional and multi-user stations, on-the-go kits, and everyday routines where a generous, reliable blood drop is needed.
The 17 gauge blade paired with a 2.0 mm fixed depth is built to draw a fuller sample on the first try — a practical choice when finer needles aren't producing enough, or when a test calls for more blood. A sterility tab keeps the gamma-sterilized blade covered and protected until the moment of use, and the retractable, self-destructing mechanism helps prevent accidental re-exposure afterward. The electro-polished, silicone-coated blade delivers high puncture speed for smoother sampling, and the yellow color-coded body identifies the gauge at a glance.
Pack Options
- Box of 100 — the standard supply
- Case of 20 boxes (2,000) — the economical choice for higher-volume settings

Equipment Specialist Insight: This is the maximum-flow choice in the range. The 17 gauge blade and 2.0 mm depth deliver a fuller blood drop than the fine-needle options, which makes it the one to reach for when a fingertip needle isn't drawing enough or a test simply needs more sample — and it's rated for heel sampling as well. The trade-off is that it isn't the gentlest, so for light everyday fingersticks a finer, shallower lancet is the more comfortable pick. Matching the lancet to the sample you actually need is the key; for higher-volume settings, the case quantity keeps a steady supply on hand.

Q: What is the 17 gauge blade best for?
A: It's the highest-flow option in the range. The blade and 2.0 mm depth draw a fuller blood drop, which helps when finer needles aren't producing enough or a test needs a larger sample. It's also rated for heel sampling, not just fingertips.
Q: Do I need a separate lancing device?
A: No. This is a self-contained safety lancet — twist off the cap, place it against the site, and press the button. There's nothing to load or assemble, which makes it quick to use and easy to hand off in shared settings.
Q: Is this a good everyday fingertip lancet?
A: It can be, but because it's the deepest, highest-flow option it isn't the gentlest. For light routine fingersticks, a finer, shallower lancet is more comfortable; choose this one when you specifically need a larger blood drop.
