The Penlet® Plus, also called the ONE TOUCH® UltraSoftTM, is an easy to use lancing device that comes with new ONE TOUCH® meters and is also available separately. The Penlet® Plus is lightweight, ergonomically designed to fit easily ino anyone's hand, and accepts all standard size lancets. Cocking is simple and safe, and the trigger press requires only a light touch. The cocking slide also serves as a lancet ejection slide for hands-off lancet removal. Highly Recommended. The Penlet® Plus is very easy to use. Older kids and adults can operate it with one hand, after the lancet is inserted. With seven depth settings, the Penlet Plus can be adjusted to match anyone's needs, including very young kids. The only issue is related to ejecting BD Ultra Fine II Lancets. The BD Ultra Fine II Lancets work fine in the Penlet Plus, but the ejection mechanism does not work because of the hollow base of the lancet. Instead, you must remove BD Ultra Fine II Lancets by hand. This is typical of all other lancing devices, so it isn't a shortfall of the Penlet® Plus. The ejection mechanism works fine with all lancets that have a solid base. LifeScan Penlet® Plus Comfort: 10 (7 depth adjustments) Ease of Use: 10 Safety: 9 (exposed lancets) Overall: 29
