Designed for comfort
The Unistik 3 safety lancet comes complete with Comfort Zone Technology, which minimises the pain of finger sampling and gives you peace of mind. When pressed against the sample site, a series of eight raised dots on the platform stimulate the nerve endings. This sends a powerful message of comfort to the brain, masking the weaker pain stimulus from the needle2.
