McKesson Prevent HP Safety Lancets 28G 1.6mm
McKesson Prevent HP Push-Button Safety Lancets – 28G / 1.6 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 28 gauge version uses the finest needle in the Prevent HP fingertip range, paired with a moderate 1.6 mm depth — a combination geared toward the gentlest, most comfortable stick while still drawing an adequate sample. An ergonomic, rounded body with no-slip grip ribbing makes it easy and secure to handle from the first lancet to the last.
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.
- One-step push-button activation — ready to use right out of the box, no setup required.
- Fine 28 gauge needle at a 1.6 mm fixed depth for the gentlest, most comfortable stick in the range.
- Ergonomic, rounded shape with no-slip grip ribbing for easy, secure handling.
- Light blue color-coded body for quick, easy identification.
- Sterile, single-use; not made with natural rubber latex.
- 100 lancets per box; available by the case for higher-volume settings.
For everyday fingertip sampling, this is the gentlest pick in the Prevent HP range — the 28 gauge needle is the finest of the finger options, so the stick feels lighter than the thicker 25 or 21 gauge versions. The 1.6 mm depth still draws an adequate sample for most routine tests. If a test needs a fuller drop, a thicker or deeper option is the better match; otherwise the comfort of the fine needle makes this an easy default. The lock-out safety mechanism is the same across the line, and the case quantity keeps a steady supply on hand for higher-volume settings.

Is this the most comfortable option in the range?
For fingertip sampling, yes — the 28 gauge needle is the finest of the Prevent HP finger options, so the stick tends to feel lighter than the thicker 25 or 21 gauge versions. The 1.6 mm depth still draws an adequate sample for most routine tests.
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.
Do I need a separate lancing device?
No. This is a self-contained safety lancet — twist off the cap, place it against the site, and press the button. There's nothing to load or assemble, which makes it quick to use and easy to hand off.
