Abstract
A lancing device formed from a main body and a cap. The main body is configured from a lower housing, an upper housing extending over a portion of the lower housing, and an actuator operatively engaged to the upper and lower housings with the actuator extending along the portion of the lower housing not covered by the upper housing. The upper housing further includes an actuator button, wherein a lancet may be placed within the body such that movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position away from said endcap cocks the lancet for firing, which is achieved by depressing the actuator button. Conveniently, the lancing device is configured for tactile recognition in the palm of a human hand and may preferably be operated one handed and without visual observation.
