EasyTouch® Twist Lancets - 28G

At 28G, this is the thickest gauge EasyTouch offers in a twist lancet, at roughly 0.35mm in diameter, noticeably sturdier than the 30G, 32G, and 33G options in the same lineup. That extra thickness isn't a downside for every user: it's exactly what makes 28G the practical choice for thicker or calloused fingertip skin, where a finer lancet often can't puncture deep enough to draw a usable sample without repeated sticks or hard squeezing. A single 28G puncture typically produces a larger blood drop right away, which is especially helpful for anyone newer to self-testing, managing a circulation-related condition, or simply tired of squeezing a fingertip dry for a test strip that needs more than a trace.

The trade-off is a slightly sharper sensation than the finer gauges; most users notice more of the initial prick with 28G than with 30G or 33G. For anyone testing multiple times a day on sensitive or thin skin, a finer gauge is usually the more comfortable everyday choice. For tougher skin or a stubborn draw, 28G is the one that gets the job done in a single stick.
