What does auto retractable lancets means? does it mean it can't prick again so it completely eliminate cross contamination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means once it is used, it automatically goes into a cover so it can be disposed of. It actually means it cannot be used twice since it goes directly into a cover and you then can throw it away.
