McKesson 28G Twist Lancets for Lancing Devices
McKesson 28 Gauge Twist-Top Lancets for Lancing Devices — 100 Count
The Simple, Economical Refill for Any Standard Lancing Pen
McKesson 28 Gauge Twist-Top Lancets are the simple, economical refill for anyone who already uses a lancing device. The universal design fits most standard lancing pens, and the 28 gauge needle with a tri-bevel tip is built for a smooth, comfortable stick. That makes them an easy everyday choice for fingertip routines at home, on the go, and at professional or multi-user stations.
Each lancet keeps its needle covered by a twist-off cap until the moment of use, so it stays sterile right up to loading, and the consistent 1.8 mm depth penetration helps every sample feel the same from one lancet to the next. Latex-free materials round out the no-fuss design. Note that these are non-safety lancets meant to be used with a lancing device — they aren't self-contained push-button lancets.
Pack Options
- Box of 100 — the standard refill supply
- Case of 50 boxes (5,000) — the economical choice for higher-volume and multi-user settings

Equipment Specialist Insight: These are the refill-style lancets, so the key question is simply whether you already have a lancing device — if you do, the universal twist-top fits most pens. Gauge is the comfort lever: at 28 gauge this needle is slightly thicker than the 30 gauge version, so it can draw a touch more blood, while the 30 gauge is the finer, gentlest option. Many people keep the gauge they're used to. For households or stations that sample often, the 50-box case is the most economical way to keep a steady supply on hand.

Q: Will these fit my lancing device?
A: They're built with a universal design that fits most standard lancing devices. Twist off the cap, load the lancet into your device, and you're ready to sample. If your device uses a proprietary drum or cartridge rather than individual lancets, check that it accepts standard twist-top lancets first.
Q: How does the 28 gauge compare to the 30 gauge?
A: A lower gauge number means a slightly thicker needle, so the 28 gauge can draw a little more blood than the finer 30 gauge. The 30 gauge is the gentlest option; the 28 gauge is a good middle ground if you sometimes need a fuller drop.
Q: How are these different from a safety lancet?
A: These are non-safety lancets that need a lancing device to use — they're the refill option if you already have a pen. A safety lancet, by contrast, is a self-contained, single-use device you press directly against the site with no separate pen required.
