Common questions and answers about Genteel
Q: What's the difference between a conventional lancer and Genteel devices?
A: A conventional lancer gets blood because it lances so deeply that makes an actual wound that bleeds. Genteel uses vacuum to draw blood from the tiniest painless poke. Like every child knows who drinks soda through a straw, vacuum lifts liquid, so with Genteel blood draw does not have to hurt and squeezing is also no longer necessary.
