Abstract
An expression device for a lancing device of the type that directs a skin-lancing medium against a skin site to make an incision for testing bodily fluids. The expression device has a pair of skin-engaging tabs curved and oriented to make the skin taut adjacent a lancet used with the device. This increases the incision width and enhances the quantity of blood removed for subsequent testing.
