McKesson Pressure-Activated Lancets 30G 1.5 mm
McKesson 30 Gauge Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets — 1.5 mm (100 per Box)
The Gentlest Contact-Fire Lancet — A Fine Needle, a Micro Draw
McKesson Pressure-Activated Safety Lancets fire by contact rather than a button — simply hold the lancet against the fingertip and press down gently, and the fine needle deploys automatically, then retracts and stays concealed before and after use. With no button to press and nothing to load, they're a simple, one-step option that many find easier for single-handed use and less intimidating than a manual trigger, making them a practical choice for home routines and professional or multi-user stations alike.
The fine 30 gauge tri-bevel needle at a shallow 1.5 mm depth is built to produce a gentle micro blood flow — well suited to tests that need only a small sample. The design also helps mask the pain stimulus for added comfort, and a purple color-coded body makes the gauge easy to identify 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: The contact activation is the real differentiator here — there's no button to push, so the lancet fires the moment you press it firmly to the fingertip. Many people find that easier to do single-handed and less intimidating than psyching themselves up to press a trigger. The 30 gauge / 1.5 mm combination is the gentlest setup — a fine needle and shallow depth for a small, comfortable sample — so it's a great everyday choice when a micro draw is enough; if a test needs a fuller drop, the 26 gauge or 21 gauge in the same line is the better match. For higher-volume settings, the case keeps a steady supply on hand.

Q: How is pressure-activated different from push-button?
A: There's no button to press. You hold the lancet firmly against the fingertip and press down, and it fires automatically once enough contact pressure is applied. Many people find that easier to manage one-handed and less intimidating than pressing a trigger.
Q: Do I need a separate lancing device?
A: No. This is a self-contained, ready-to-use safety lancet — nothing to load or assemble. Press it to the site to activate, and the needle retracts and stays concealed afterward.
Q: What is the 30 gauge / 1.5 mm combination good for?
A: It's the gentlest setup — a fine needle at a shallow depth that produces a small, micro blood flow. That makes it ideal for tests needing only a small sample. If you need a fuller drop, choose a thicker gauge or deeper depth.
