Abstract

The invention relates to a lancing system having a lancet carrier tape (3) supporting a plurality of lancets (4), a transport means (5, 11, 17) serving to move the lancet carrier tape (3) in a feed or transport direction along a transport path and to thereby move lancets (4) of the lancet carrier tape (3) one after the other to a puncturing position, and a lancing drive (6) for causing a lancet (4) that occupies a puncturing position to perform a puncturing movement. It is provided according to the invention that during a puncturing movement the lancing drive (6) moves a lancet (4), that has been brought to a puncturing position, in the puncturing direction together with a portion of the lancet carrier tape (3) on which that lancet (4) is supported and that once a lancet (4) has been moved to the puncturing position at least one element of the transport means (5, 11, 17), arranged behind the puncturing position in the transport direction, performs a movement before or during the puncturing movement of that lancet (4).
