Abstract
The present invention provides a lancet (X) which includes a case () including an internal space (), and a lancing unit () which includes a lancing needle () and which is movable within the internal space () in an advancing direction from a wait position to an advanced position. The case () includes a main body () accommodating the lancing unit (), and a cap () which is molded integral with the main body () and detachable from the main body (). The lancing unit () includes a cover portion () for covering a portion of the lancing needle () on the advancing side, for example.
