Abstract
A lancing device includes a housing () and a lancet holder movably mounted within the housing. The lancet holder has a forward portion defining a socket () for partially surrounding and retaining in use the rear portion of a lancet. A lancet release element () can be moved forward to cooperate with lugs on the socket to expand it to allow insertion and/or removal of the lancet with minimal insertion or withdrawal force.
