Testing blood glucose levels 5-10 times daily is a daily requirement for those living with Type 1 Diabetes. There is no way around it. With Genteel Lancing Instrument, you can test painlessly anywhere on your body, giving your fingertips a break!
By using a combination of depth control, vibration, vacuum, people with diabetes, can now get test blood without fear or the pain of the dreaded finger-stick.
Genteel® Lancing Device allows diabetics to draw the perfect drop of test blood without the pain. Each Genteel® lancing kit, includes: 6 contact tips, 2 nozzles, travel and organizer pouch, stickers for kids, and sample lancets for a truly personalized testing experience. Using it’s patented vacuum technology, Genteel® gets a blood drop from anywhere on the body.
The Genteel Lancing Instrument replaces painful, spring-loaded lancing devices with a precision depth control vacuum device. Genteel uses vibration and vacuum technology to draw blood. Genteel is easy to use, even for young, newly diagnosed diabetics for painless blood sugar testing.
This gentle lancer comes with easy to use instructions, once you do it a time or two, it will be like second nature. The key is to keep your finger on the activation button until the vacuum has drawn up enough blood for the test as you can see in the video.
Since Genteel uses contact tips to control the depth of penetration with vacuum, you can get reliable blood draws all over the body, instead of just fingertips.
Traditionally, blood draws are on the fingertips because that is where blood capillaries are closest to the surface of the kind – and also abundant supply of pain nerves. Since Genteel can be used in alternate sites that aren’t full of pain nerves, it can be pain free, or at least less painful. You can still use your fingertips, but also your stomach, forearms, chest, upper arms, thighs, hips, calves, fingers, and palms.
- VACUUM TECHNOLOGY – the world’s only lancing device that uses vacuum to draw blood. No more squeezing and sensitivity. Get blood from anywhere on the body.
- AVOID PAIN NERVES with ultra-precise depth control using 6 levels of patented Contact Tips. Fingers that look like pincushions will be a thing of the past.
- GIVE FINGERS A BREAK and test on the thenar area of the palm, which matches the fingers’ blood sugar levels, in both steady and dynamic blood flow states for real-time readings.
Thousands across the world are now finally experiencing less discomfort with blood testing with the Genteel lancing device.
