Bayer Contour Microlet® Lancets for Blood Glucose Testing

Microlet® lancets are single-use sterile needles for capillary blood sampling. They help you obtain a small blood drop for meter testing at home or on the go. We provide US delivery from Canada so you can access Canadian pricing, even when paying without insurance.

What Microlet Is and How It Works

Microlet® lancets are designed for fingertip lancing with compatible devices. The tip is engineered to penetrate the skin consistently to produce a drop of blood for glucose meter strips. These Microlet Next compatible lancets fit the matching lancing device and are intended for one-time use only to maintain sterility and reduce irritation.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

The silicone-coated tip can reduce friction at insertion. Color-coded caps help you track new versus used lancets. Always follow your device instructions and your clinician’s testing schedule.

Who It’s For

This product is for people who monitor blood glucose with a compatible lancing device. It suits adults and many older children who can follow safe lancing steps under adult guidance. Avoid using on infected, inflamed, or recently injured skin. If you have a bleeding disorder or use blood thinners, speak with a healthcare professional before home lancing. Follow local infection control advice if you are immunocompromised.

Dosage and Usage

Use one sterile lancet per test. General steps:

• Wash and dry hands thoroughly
• Insert a new lancet into the device
• Set depth based on your skin thickness
• Lance the side of the fingertip, not the pad
• Wipe away the first drop; use the next drop on the strip
• Dispose of the used lancet in a sharps container

Rotate fingers to reduce soreness. Adjust depth gradually if you get too little or too much blood. Follow your meter and lancing device manuals for exact instructions.

Strengths and Forms

Common option: 30G lancets. Package sizes often include 100-count and sometimes larger packs. Availability may vary by lot and supplier. The phrase Microlet lancets 30G refers to the needle gauge, which reflects tip thinness and penetration feel.

Missed Dose and Timing

There is no “dose,” but timing matters for glucose profiles. If you miss a planned check, test as soon as you reasonably can according to your care plan. Resume your regular schedule with your next planned check. When in doubt, follow your clinician’s guidance and your meter’s user manual.

Storage and Travel Basics

Keep lancets in their original box, dry, and at room temperature away from heat and sunlight. Do not use if the sterile cap looks compromised. For trips, pack extra lancets and a travel-sized sharps container in carry-on baggage. For diabetes education resources, see Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. For supplies, visit Diabetes Supplies. The phrase Bayer Contour lancets is sometimes used to describe compatibility within the Contour family; always confirm your specific device model.

Pen Handling and Sharps Disposal

Handle your lancing device carefully. Insert the lancet fully, secure the cap, and verify the depth setting before lancing. Never share your device or lancets. For disposal, place used sharps into an approved sharps container immediately after use. If a dedicated container is unavailable, a heavy plastic bottle with a tight, puncture-resistant lid may be used temporarily until proper disposal is available. Follow local regulations for sharps drop-off. If you need more diabetes supplies, browse Diabetes Supplies. The term Bayer Contour lancets also appears in community guidance; verify device compatibility on the label.

Benefits

This medicine class focuses on safety and consistency. The lancets are single-use to help reduce contamination risk. Silicone coating can make insertion feel smoother. Color coding supports easier tracking of fresh lancets. Consistent, fine tips can help you obtain the blood drop needed for your test strip with less trial and error when depth is set correctly.

Side Effects and Safety

• Mild pain at the puncture site
• Small bruise or redness
• Occasional callus with frequent lancing

Rare but serious problems can include infection or significant bleeding. Do not reuse lancets. Clean the lancing device per the manufacturer’s instructions. Seek medical help if you notice signs of infection, persistent bleeding, or severe pain. Use extra caution if you have neuropathy, circulation issues, or are on anticoagulants.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

As a mechanical device accessory, lancets do not have traditional drug interactions. Still, concurrent use of anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents can increase bleeding risk. Take care with depth settings and apply pressure after lancing. If you have skin conditions, consult a prescriber on suitable lancing sites and frequency.

What to Expect Over Time

With routine technique, you can expect consistent sampling. If readings vary unexpectedly, review your meter, strip handling, and lancing depth. Rotate fingers, hydrate, and warm hands to improve blood flow. If your device or strip brand changes, recheck the depth setting and sampling steps. Many users find Contour Microlet 30G lancets work reliably when paired with the correct device and strip.

Compare With Alternatives

Prefer an integrated drum system or a different tip feel? Consider Accu Chek Softclix Lancets or softer-feel options like Onetouch Ultra Soft Lancets. Your choice may depend on device compatibility, handling preference, and finger sensitivity. Always confirm the lancet matches your lancing device.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates can follow clean technique and device steps. Those with bleeding risks or skin conditions should ask a healthcare professional about safe lancing sites and frequency. Consider larger packs for better value if you test frequently; some people look for Microlet lancets bulk options to reduce trips. Set refill reminders so you never run out. Travel with extras and a sharps container to simplify your routine away from home. For background learning, read National Diabetes Month 2025 and Reverse Prediabetes Naturally.
