McKesson Prevent HP Safety Lancets 28G 1.0 mm
McKesson Prevent HP Push-Button Safety Lancets — 28G / 1.0 mm (100 per Box)
The Gentlest Stick in the Prevent HP Line — With the Needle Never Exposed
McKesson Prevent HP Push-Button Safety Lancets are the safety-engineered option in the McKesson lancet range, built around the HP-Haemolance Plus design. The needle is enclosed before use, fires at the press of a button, then automatically retracts and locks out — so the sharp is never exposed before or after sampling. That makes them especially well suited to professional and multi-user stations where safe sharps handling is a priority, while staying simple enough for everyday home routines.
This version pairs the fine 28 gauge needle with the shallowest 1.0 mm depth in the Prevent HP range, making it the gentlest stick of the line. It's the natural choice for the lightest possible fingertip sampling — when only a small drop is needed and comfort is the priority. The orange color-coded body identifies the gauge and depth at a glance in a mixed supply drawer.
Pack Options
- Box of 100 — the standard supply
- Case of 20 boxes (2,000) — the economical choice for higher-volume and multi-user settings

Equipment Specialist Insight: This is the gentlest lancet in the Prevent HP range — the finest 28 gauge needle combined with the shallowest 1.0 mm depth, for the lightest stick the line offers. It's the right pick when comfort matters most and only a small sample is needed; if a test calls for a fuller drop, a deeper 28 gauge (1.6 mm) or a thicker gauge is the better match. The lock-out safety mechanism is identical across the line, and the case quantity keeps a steady supply on hand for higher-volume settings.

Q: Is this the gentlest lancet in the range?
A: Yes. It combines the finest 28 gauge needle with the shallowest 1.0 mm depth, so it delivers the lightest stick the Prevent HP line offers — ideal when comfort is the priority and only a small drop is needed.
Q: What makes Prevent HP different from a standard safety lancet?
A: The lock-out. After firing, the needle automatically retracts and locks away, so it stays enclosed both before and after use. Combined with the fine, tri-beveled needle, it's geared toward safe, comfortable handling in shared and multi-user settings.
Q: Will it draw enough blood?
A: For tests that need only a small sample, yes — the 1.0 mm depth is designed for a light, comfortable draw. If you find you need a fuller drop, step up to the 28 gauge at 1.6 mm, or move to a thicker gauge for higher flow.
