Abstract:
1. A lancet device comprising: a skin engaging surface that includes a lancet opening through which a lancet needle of a replaceable and removable lancet may extend; a holding member retaining therein the lancet; the lancet being movably guided along a linear direction; and a combined triggering and cocking system structured and arranged to move the lancet to a retracted position during a cocking phase and to cause the lancet to move to an extended position during a triggering phase, the combined triggering and cocking system allowing both triggering and cocking of the lancet device by a single user motion, wherein the combined triggering and cocking system comprises at least one member linearly movably mounted to a sidewall, the at least one member having a portion that protrudes outside of the sidewall, being movable relative to the sidewall from an original position to a triggering position, and having a portion which moves linearly from one side of an imaginary line defined by the linear direction to another side thereof during the cocking and triggering phases, and wherein the holding member is movable back to an original position after triggering of the lancet device.
