McKesson 23G Push-Button Safety Lancets 1.8mm
McKesson 23 Gauge Push-Button Safety Lancets – 1.8 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.
This 23 gauge model pairs a slightly larger needle with a 1.8 mm fixed depth, a combination geared toward a fuller blood drop when a larger sample helps. 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.
Key Features
- 23 gauge needle with a 1.8 mm fixed depth — geared toward a fuller blood drop when more sample is helpful.
- Push-button activation with a simple 2-step operation, low firing force, and no loading required.
- 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.
- Blue color-coded body for quick gauge identification.
- Not made with natural rubber latex.
- 100 single-use lancets per box; available by the case for higher-volume settings.
Gauge and depth work together: a lower gauge number means a slightly thicker needle, and at 1.8 mm this is one of the deeper fixed-depth options — together they favor a larger blood drop. That makes the 23 gauge a good pick when a fuller sample helps, while finer, shallower options suit lighter routine fingersticks. Keeping a couple of gauge options on a shelf covers more users; 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 23 gauge and 1.8 mm numbers mean?
The gauge describes needle thickness — a lower number is thicker — and the depth controls how far it goes. At 23 gauge and a 1.8 mm fixed depth, this lancet leans toward a fuller blood drop, which can help when a larger sample is needed compared with finer, shallower options.
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.
