McKesson Prevent HP Safety Lancets 28G 1.0mm
McKesson Prevent HP Push-Button Safety Lancets – 28G / 1.0 mm (100 per Box)
Overview
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.
Key Features
- HP-Haemolance Plus design — automatic needle retraction and lock-out keep the needle enclosed before and after use.
- Helps prevent accidental needlestick and supports safe, hygienic single-use handling.
- Push-button activation with a simple, intuitive operation — no loading required.
- Fine 28 gauge needle at a 1.0 mm fixed depth — the gentlest, shallowest setting in the Prevent HP range.
- Ideal for the lightest fingertip sampling, where only a small drop is needed.
- Orange color-coded body for quick identification.
- Sterile, single-use; not made with natural rubber latex.
- 100 lancets per box; available by the case for higher-volume settings.
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.

Is this the gentlest lancet in the range?
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.
What makes Prevent HP different from a standard safety lancet?
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.
Will it draw enough blood?
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.
