Abstract

See full text

A cap for a dermal tissue lancing device includes a cap body with a proximal end, a distal end and an opening along a cap body longitudinal axis. The proximal end is configured for engagement with the dermal tissue lancing device and the distal end is configured for contacting a dermal tissue target site. In addition, the distal end includes a deformable portion with a deformable distal compression surface, the distal compression surface having an outer rim that is furthermost from the longitudinal axis. Furthermore, when the distal end of the cap is contacted with and urged towards a dermal tissue target site, the outer rim of the distal compression surface of the deformable portion establishes initial contact with the dermal tissue target site and, thereafter, the deformable portion deforms such that the remainder of the deformable distal compression surface of the deformable portion contacts the dermal tissue target site.
