Abstract
A blood collecting device (10) includes a lancet (40) and a capillary tube (30) carried together by an elongated member (14). The tube (30) is simultaneously positioned adjacent the skin when the lancet (40) is advanced by the member (14) to puncture the skin. The lancet (40) is automatically retracted by a retraction spring (54) but the tube (30) is maintained in close proximity with the puncture for collecting blood issuing therefrom without further manipulation by the user.
