The contact activation is the shared advantage across the line: there's no button to push, so it fires the moment you press it firmly to the fingertip, which many find easier one-handed. At 1.8 mm depth it's a dependable everyday choice for standard capillary tests; step down to the 30 gauge for the gentlest stick or up to the 21 gauge when you need maximum flow. For higher-volume settings, the case keeps a steady supply on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"enhdme-spec-list\"\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eType\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eSafety lancet (needle)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eActivation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003ePressure (contact) activated\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eNeedle Gauge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e26 G\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eTip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eTri-bevel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e1.8 mm (fixed)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eMechanism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eAuto-retract, concealed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eSterility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eSterile, single-use\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eSite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eFinger\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eBlue\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eNot made with natural rubber latex\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e100 per box \/ 20 boxes per case (2,000)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-faq-section\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-faq-item\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is pressure-activated different from push-button?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003eA: There's no button to press.
