The skin-contact part (5) and lancet (4) form a unitary disposable item (3) which is intended for once-only use and is intended to be inserted at an anterior end (2) of the housing (10) in a single operation only as a unit with the skin-contact part (5) The skin-contact part (5) and the lancet body (31) are connected to one another through a first predetermined breaking section (52) to permit the skin-contact part (5) and the lance body (31) to be separable from one another following insertion of the disposable item (3).
