Abstract
A lancet body () is integrally molded with a cap () for a firing device, the cap concealing the needle tip (). the cap () can be used to insert the lancet (), which is held while the cap is twisted off. The cap () is then fitted to the firing device to provide an apertured platform to be held against the skin and through which the needle tip () will momentarily project. The cap () has to be deformed to fit, and on being removed and recovering its natural shape internal lugs () catch hold of the released lancet () and remove that as well.
