Abstract
A bodily fluid sampling device is operable to rupture the skin surface at normal and oblique angles utilizing a flat lancet of specified thickness and at least one cutting surface inclined less than eighty degrees (80.degree.) from the longitudinal axis of the flat lancet. The flat lancet thickness and cutting surface geometry minimize pain while maximizing the amount of emerged bodily fluid. The device limits the depth to which the flat lancet penetrates the skin to further minimize pain and may urge the bodily fluid from the rupture site. The bodily fluid emerging from the rupture site is transported to a test device that tests the bodily fluid for particular properties and characteristics.
