Nice, thanks for sharing!

I want to mention that the thinner the gauge the more fragile they become. So swap those out more frequently than a 33 gauge.

(Like for @docslotnick , he’d have to swap them out every 1 year instead of every 2…)

No, the higher gauge is a thinner lancet. 30 gauge is thicker than 33. And 33 is thicker than 36.

Correct-- big numbers = small needles. The smallest ones (largest number) available through most ordinary sources is 33 isn’t it?

What Britt posted was the 36 gauge for little fingers, which is even smaller than what we are used to.
