Abstract
A device for taking a blood sample to be tested, for example for the level of glucose contained therein, presents a container () containing at least one lancet () for puncturing a part of the patient's body in order to cause blood to emerge, and at least one tamping element () to enable that point of the body from which the blood has emerged to be covered after the blood has been withdrawn, and to facilitate the coagulation and absorption of the residual blood at that point.
