Why is it important for the lancet to be positioned to cut across the fingerprints rather than parallel to them?
Cutting across the fingerprints creates a clean, straight line that helps the blood flow evenly, minimizes damage to the tissues below the skin, and reduces pain during the blood collection process. Cutting parallel to the fingerprints might cause jagged cuts, more pain, and may lead to contamination of the blood sample.
