Abstract
An inventive lancet device for producing a puncture wound, in particular for collecting a sample of a body fluid which has a magazine holder for a lancet magazine containing a plurality of lancets. The lancet device can be alternatively operated such that either a new lancet is used for each puncture process by automatically advancing the lancet magazine stepwise or the automatic stepwise advance of the lancet magazine can be suppressed or deactivated so that, if desired, several punctures can be carried out with the last used lancet before an unused lancet is used at a desired time.
