Reliable sampling for blood glucose monitoring in cats and dogs

Lancets suited to veterinary diagnosis

The sterile Alphatrak 3 lancets are designed to support blood glucose measurement in cats and dogs under optimal conditions of accuracy and safety. They are used to collect a small drop of blood, needed for glucose analysis with the Alphatrak 3 glucometer. Their specific design meets the requirements of veterinary diagnosis, taking into account the skin sensitivity of companion animals.

Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential for diabetic dogs and cats. It allows treatment adjustments and helps prevent imbalances. Suitable lancets help make this monitoring more reliable and better tolerated by the animal.

A gauge designed for the animal's comfort

The Alphatrak 3 lancets are 28 gauge, a fine diameter allowing an effective sample while limiting discomfort. This gauge is particularly suited to sampling performed on the ear or paw pad, areas commonly used for blood glucose measurement in cats and dogs. The prick is quick, precise and reduces the stress linked to handling.

Each lancet is single-use and sterile, ensuring optimal hygiene at every measurement. Using a new lancet for each sample is essential to preserve the quality of blood glucose monitoring and the animal's comfort.
