McKesson Push-Button Safety Lancets 28G 1.5 mm
McKesson 28 Gauge Push-Button Safety Lancets — 1.5 mm (100 per Box)
Quick, Comfortable, and Clean — The Everyday Push-Button Fingerstick
McKesson Push-Button Safety Lancets make routine fingertip sampling quick, comfortable, and clean. Each lancet is a self-contained, single-use device — press the button and the needle fires and retracts in one smooth motion, with no separate lancing device to load. That simplicity makes them a practical choice for professional and multi-user stations, on-the-go kits, and everyday home routines alike.
The 28 gauge needle pairs a fine diameter with a 1.5 mm fixed depth to draw an adequate sample while keeping the stick gentle. A sterility tab keeps each gamma-sterilized needle covered and protected until the moment of use, the electro-polished, silicone-coated needle delivers high puncture speed for smoother sampling, and the retractable, self-destructing mechanism helps prevent accidental re-exposure afterward. The purple color-coded body identifies the gauge 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: Gauge and depth are the two numbers that shape the experience — a higher gauge number means a finer needle, and 1.5 mm is a moderate depth that balances a comfortable stick with enough sample for most fingertip testing. If a station serves a range of users, keeping a single fixed-depth option like this one simplifies training and restocking. For multi-user or high-traffic settings, the case quantity is the more economical way to keep a steady supply on hand.

Q: Do I need a separate lancing device?
A: No. This is a self-contained safety lancet — press the button to activate it. There's no lancing device to load and nothing to assemble, which makes it quick to use and easy to hand off in shared settings.
Q: What do the 28 gauge and 1.5 mm numbers mean for comfort?
A: The gauge describes needle thickness — a higher number is finer — and the depth controls how far it goes. At 28 gauge and a 1.5 mm fixed depth, this lancet aims for a gentle, comfortable stick while still drawing enough sample for typical fingertip testing.
Q: Can a lancet be reused?
A: No. Each lancet is single-use. The retractable, self-destructing mechanism activates after firing so the needle can't be used again, which supports safe, hygienic handling and disposal.
