Item Description

The Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device is the world’s first 1-Click lancing device with a drum. Thanks to the Clixmotion® technology which minimizes any painful side-to-side motion of the lancet, sampling is fast and almost painless in 9 out of 10 patients.1,2 The rotatable cap offers 11 depth settings that let you customize the device to your skin type. The lancing device uses a drum of 6 preloaded lancets, so you don’t handle individual lancets.
