Abstract

An automatic lancet device comprising a housing with a recess in one side through which a mounting member can move to carry a lancet from a retracted to an operative position, and a finger guard through which or past which the lancet makes its finger piercing movement in use. The finger guard is provided with a stem dimensioned to be removably located in a recess in the housing. A displacement member is permanently mounted on the device and is movable from a first position to a second position to cause displacement of the finger guard from the recess, the displacement being achievable by actuation at a location remote from the finger guard.
