You’ve probably seen our ads by now and if you haven’t tried Pip it’s likely because A) You don’t change your lancets that often and you don’t feel the need to upgrade and/or B) You don’t understand what is so special about these lancets. To summarize, diabetes is hard and pricking your finger is painful and inconvenient especially multiple times a day... We’ve created a lancet that we hope makes this part of your diabetes management a little easier.

Box of Pip All-In-One Lancets

No lancing device needed, so no more worrying about loading, unloading or adjusting your lancing device. You simply twist off the cap and apply pressure to your finger to activate the lancets!

 Our lancets are safe! The needle is NEVER exposed. It automatically retracts before and after use, so you don't have to worry about accidentally poking yourself or others!

Having a sharps container on hand on top of all the other supplies you have to carry around is impractical. With Pip Lancets, the needle is never exposed - it is fully retracted before and after use. So, if you’re testing on-the-go you don’t have to worry about throwing a used lancet back in your bag only to poke yourself later that day. Or worse, someone else reaching in your bag or finding one of your exposed lancets laying around the house and poking themselves. No more worrying about placing the cap back on or accidental needle pokes with Pip Lancets.

 

Three things shape how a fingerstick feels: needle gauge, needle depth and spring vibration. Our customers find Pip Lancets virtually painless: in a survey of 308 Pip customers, 88% said they caused less pain. They come in three sizes, so you can choose the one that suits you: Mighty Fine 30G x 1.0mm, So Fine 30G x 1.6mm or Fine 28G x 1.8mm.

  • Needle Gauge - for obvious reasons, the larger the needle, the higher the pain level associated with the needle. This is the primary reason that, over time, more and more people have moved toward smaller and smaller needles. There have also been advancements in glucose meters to where smaller and smaller blood samples are needed - therefore, allowing a smaller needle to be used.
  • Puncture depth - again, for obvious reasons. The deeper the poke, the more pain you’ll likely feel.
  • Spring vibration - while not as obvious, this is the primary reason for painful fingersticks. Devices that have very limited or no vibration of the needle when used will cause significantly less pain.
