Abstract
The application relates to a lancing device for obtaining samples of body fluid, said device comprising: a base body which is rotationally symmetrical with relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and on one longitudinal end of which a positioning surface with an exit opening is arranged; a lancet cartridge for receiving a plurality of lancets; a drive device for moving a lancet held in the lancet cartridge back and forth along the longitudinal axis; and a transport device for transporting lancets on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The exit opening is located substantially centrally in the positioning surface and the lancet cartridge has a guide track for the lancets, in which track said lancets can be positioned in such a way that their tips can emerge from the exit opening during the movement back and forth.
