Global 8041 Safety Lancet 26 Gauge Retractable

Product Description

The GLOBAL 8041 is a sterile, disposable safety lancet designed for capillary blood sampling from the fingertip. It features a 26-gauge needle tip and a 1.8 mm depth setting, making it suited for routine glucose monitoring and other point-of-care blood collection procedures. Activation is pressure-based, requiring no separate trigger mechanism. Once fired, the needle retracts automatically, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injury after use. This lancet is intended for single-use applications in clinical, laboratory, and field settings where consistent, controlled fingerstick depth is required.

The 8041 lancet is used in settings where capillary whole blood samples are collected from the finger. Typical applications include blood glucose testing, hemoglobin screening, and other point-of-care diagnostics. Its purple color-coding aids in quick gauge identification when multiple lancet sizes are in use. The pressure-activated design suits environments where workflow speed matters, including clinics, long-term care facilities, home health, and laboratory draw stations. The retractable needle mechanism meets standard safety protocols for sharps handling and disposal.

Key Features

• 26-gauge needle tip for fine, controlled fingerstick puncture
• 1.8 mm fixed depth setting for consistent sample collection
• Pressure-activated firing — no separate trigger required
• Automatic needle retraction after use to reduce needlestick risk
• Single-use, sterile construction for infection control compliance
• Purple color-coding for fast gauge identification in multi-lancet environments

Compatibility

Designed as a single-use, pressure-activated fingerstick lancet compatible with standard capillary blood collection workflows; no lancing device is required for use.

Installation Notes

This product is used by clinical and home health professionals performing capillary blood draws. Follow facility protocols and applicable OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards when handling and disposing of used lancets. After activation, the needle retracts and the device should be discarded immediately in an approved sharps container. Do not attempt to reuse or re-activate a fired lancet.
