What is the difference between a tri-beveled lancet and a microblade?
A tri-beveled lancet has three planes at the point of the lancet and is a standard point for fingertip testing. A microblade lancet only has two planes and resembles the shape of a scalpel. This point is commonly used for neonatal heel sticks, but is also used by health care professionals who require a larger blood sample from the fingertips of their patients.
