A cap for a lancing device for lancing dermal tissue is provided. The cap includes a cap body having a proximal end for connecting to the distal end of the housing of the lancing device and a contact ring attached to the distal end of the cap body. The contact ring includes an opening for a portion of the lancet of the lancing device to pass therethrough. The contact ring has a multi-contoured surface oriented generally about an axis distinct from the axis of motion of the lancet. The multi-contoured surface is designed to pressure the dermal tissue to facilitate expression of a fluid sample after lancing the dermal tissue. The fluid sample can include blood, interstitial fluid, or both.

Cet embout comprend un corps d'embout doté d'une extrémité proximale servant à connecter ledit embout à l'extrémité distale d'un logement de dispositif à lancette, et une bague de contact fixée à l'extrémité distale du corps d'embout. La bague de contact comprend une ouverture traversée par une partie de la lancette, et une surface multicontour généralement orientée autour d'un axe distinct de l'axe de déplacement de ladite lancette. La surface multicontour est conçue de façon à exercer une pression sur le tissu dermique afin de faciliter l'expression d'un échantillon fluidique après incision dudit tissu dermique.
