If you are a diabetic and have to prick your finger (or arm) several times a day, this was invented for you. I really love this clever little gadget. First off, it is a good standard, adjustable auto lancet which works just great and is easy to use. BUT there is more! Lots more! Tired of chasing down those lancets, loading them in one by one and the trying to find a safe way to dispose of them? Forget about it! This device uses a completely self-contained little drum that holds 6 lancets. You load once and then you have 6 shots without reloading! It's a six-shooter! The needles are completely enclosed inside the drum and safe. After use, you'd need a hammer and a very determined 5 year old just to get anywhere near exposing the lancets. Very safe, very secure, very convenient! Very clever design!

Unique lancing mechanism provides a truly painless prick. Works very well with alternate site testing. Have had other devices over the years, this is the only one I would recommend. I would highly recommend this one for children.

The quickest device I have used in 11 years of changing lancet devices during that time. This has a quick puncture and rapid withdrawal. I continue to "try" other devices and ultimately return to this SoftClix Plus.

I have another but having a 2nd allows me to test at work-this item is very easy to use.

I bought this for my mother who has just been put on insulin. She could not bear the thought of the finger prick because it hurts so bad in the doctors office. This machine uses tiny lancets and you and dial a puncture depth. It also has another end cap if you want to test somewhere other than the finger tip. She says she does not even feel it. Insert the lancet, click it like a pen to set, then hit the button. So easy!

I've been injecting insulin for 17 years. I test my blood 7 or 8 times a day. I've tried every lancet device on the market and this is by far the best. By best I mean it painlessly gives you just the right amount of blood needed for the test strip. Every time. I know it's expensive compared to the other brands, but it'll hold up for 2 or 3 years. It's designed with guides that enable the needle to go straight in with no side to side wobble. That's why it hurts less. (actually it doesn't hurt at all.) By the way, I've met a lot of diabetics who didn't know that you can test on your knee. I've compared tests taken at the same time on my knee and my finger and always find them within 5 or 10 points of each other which is close enough. Testing on the knee is 100% painless.

As lancets go, this is probably one of the best I've used over the years. Common to all diabetic supplies and medications, it's pricey with a very high markup from the manufacturer. It's hard for me to feel good about being taken advantage of.

I ordered two lancet devices but received two Softclix Plus devices. The Plus is a cheap imitation and 1) not what I ordered and 2) not what was advertised.
