Abstract
A lancing device has a spring-loaded lancet holder slidably mounted within a housing for carrying a disposable lancet and needle. A knob on the back of the device has forward-extending fingers that stop the lancet holder at an adjustable predetermined point after the device has been fired. The fingers not only control the penetration depth of the needle, but also absorb vibrations and reduce noise to cause less pain to the user.
