A lancing device and method for self-collecting a sample of body fluid by penetrating a body tissue at a sampling site. The invention includes a housing geometry configured for ease of use at different sampling sites on the body, even by persons having reduced dexterity and/or poor vision. Depth of penetration is selectively controlled by adjusting the stroke range of a spring-driven lancet carrier. A pressure applicator is included for stimulating flow of the body fluid. A transparent portion permits observation of the sampling site.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de lancette et un procédé pour le recueil automatique d'un échantillon de liquide organique par pénétration du tissu corporel au niveau d'un point de prélèvement. L'invention comporte une géométrie de logement conformée en vue de permettre une utilisation aisée à des points de prélèvement différents, y compris par des personnes ayant une dextérité limitée et/ou une vue faible. La profondeur de la pénétration est contrôlée par le réglage de la portée de la course d'un porte-lancette à ressort. Le dispositif comporte un applicateur de pression pour favoriser l'écoulement du liquide organique. Une portion transparente permet l'observation du point de prélèvement.
