These ultra soft lancets are designed for use with the OneTouch UltraSoft Lancing Device and other compatible devices. Many people search for one touch ultra lancets, onetouch ultrasoft lancets, or one touch soft lancets when choosing a reliable option.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy headquartered in Manitoba; prescriptions are reviewed by licensed pharmacists before dispensing. We source through licensed, vetted partner pharmacies internationally to offer authentic brand supplies with a broad selection at affordable prices.

Each lancet features a fine needle intended to reduce fingerstick discomfort. The typical one touch ultra soft lancets gauge is 28G, balancing ease of penetration with minimal pain. Use them with a suitable lancing device for onetouch ultrasoft lancets to control depth. Consistent technique supports accurate readings. Boxes often include 100 sterile pieces, so you may see one touch ultra soft lancets 100 in product listings.

These lancets work by creating a tiny skin puncture. The lancing device springs the lancet forward and back at a set depth. A small drop forms for application to the test strip. The lancet is then ejected and discarded safely. Do not reuse a one touch ultra soft lancet. Reuse can dull the tip, increase pain, and raise infection risk.

Compatibility depends on your device. The one touch ultra soft lancing device compatibility aligns with standard lancet shafts. Many universal devices accept onetouch ultra soft lancets, but check your manual. If you are comparing a one touch ultra soft lancets device or one touch ultra soft lancet pen with other brands, ensure the lancet and device match before use.

• Mild fingertip pain or tenderness at the puncture site.
• Small amount of bleeding or minor bruising.
• Skin irritation or callus with frequent sampling at the same spot.

Serious problems are rare when using single-use sterile lancets properly. Do not share lancing devices or lancets, as this can transmit infections such as hepatitis or HIV. People with known metal sensitivities should consult their healthcare provider about suitable lancet materials. Lancets do not affect glucose or cause hypoglycemia; low blood sugar relates to medications or diet, not to lancet use.

Onset Time

There is no dosing onset to consider. A fingerstick with OneTouch Ultra Soft Lancets produces a sample immediately, and most blood glucose meters display a result in a few seconds. Consistent site rotation, proper depth, and warm hands help you obtain timely, adequate samples each time.

Compare With Alternatives

Accu-Chek offers two popular options. Accu Chek® Softclix Lancets are fine-gauge lancets used with the Softclix lancing device. They focus on gentle entry with adjustable depth and are widely available. If you already use a Softclix device, staying within the same system can keep your technique consistent.

Accu Chek® FastClix Lancets use a preloaded drum with multiple lancets. The drum design reduces handling of bare lancets and speeds testing. It requires a compatible FastClix lancing device, so check your device first.

Many universal “soft” lancets exist and fit a wide range of devices. Quality varies. Choose the correct gauge and confirm fit. If you need test strips to complete your kit, explore options compatible with your meter, such as brand-specific strips designed for your device model.

Combination Therapy

• Use with a compatible lancing device for onetouch ultrasoft lancets and your blood glucose meter.
• Pair with the correct test strips for your meter model.
• Alcohol swabs or soap and water can clean the site before testing.
• Sharps container for safe disposal prevents needle-stick accidents.
• If also using insulin or sulfonylureas, follow your diabetes plan to address low or high readings; lancets themselves do not change glucose.

Do not use if the protective cap was removed before opening, the lancet looks damaged, or packaging is compromised. Do not share lancing devices. Rotate fingers and sites to reduce soreness. If a fingertip is infected or injured, choose another site until healed. Check device guidance before any alternate site testing.

To save more, consider one touch ultra soft lancets 100 or larger pack sizes when available. Multi-month orders can lower per-month costs and reduce shipping frequency. Set a reminder based on your daily testing routine so you reorder before your supply runs low. Buying together with strips and alcohol swabs may also reduce per-item shipping costs.
