5 tips for gentle blood sampling.
Lancing correctly with Accu-Chek lancing devices keeps discomfort to
a minimum. You can test more comfortably with these five easy steps:
Alternate fingers
daily
and take the necessary steps
to ensure
good blood circulation
.
Ensure hands are
clean and dry
.
Lance on the
side of the fingertip
rather than
the pad.
Keep the skin taut
by pressing the lancing
device firmly against the skin.
Select a penetration depth
as shallow as
possible that still produces blood.
