Abstract
A lancing device is used with a lancet for lancing body tissue to result in a wound for bleeding. An improved lancing device has a priming knob having a slanted priming notch rotatably connected to the lancing device about an axis of rotation generally parallel to a central axis of the lancing device and a strike path of a lancet carrier. Rotation, translation, or both rotation and translation of the priming knob allows a user to prime the lancing device.
