Never use a lancet twice. Besides, once activated, the safety feature won't let you use it again.

Why cant you use the same lancet twice to prick the finger?

Using the same lancet twice can increase the risk of infection and cause pain or discomfort. Lancets can become dull after one use, leading to a less effective and more painful prick if reused. It is important to always use a new, sterile lancet to ensure accuracy and reduce the risk of complications.

Why cant you use the same lancet twice?

The needle is extremely small and thin and when it punctures the skin it gets damaged. This damage can make it painful to use more than once. EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is the fact that when the needle goes into the tissue it contacts blood which is sticky. The needle may look clean but it is now covered in microscopic bacteria and maybe even viruses. You can wipe it off but remember the needle is damaged and now storing bacteria in its microscopic cracks. Using it again now puts you at risk of bacterial infection. Remember you are sticking this into your blood supply so you are giving the bacteria a free ride to your capillaries and tissues. Bacterial infections can rapidly turn into dangerous situations especially in people not in optimal health (people with diabetes). Medicare/Medicaid and most insurances will cover enough lancets so you never have to use them twice. If you cant afford them you need to ask your pharmacist or health care professional for ways to get your lancets for discounted prices/free.
