Method for lancing a dermal tissue target site
First Claim
1. A method for lancing a dermal tissue target site, the method comprising:
- contacting a deformable portion of a dermal tissue lancing device cap with the dermal tissue target site such that an outer rim of a deformable distal compression surface of the deformable portion establishes initial contact with the dermal tissue target site, the outer rim being furthermost from a longitudinal axis of the cap in comparison to the remainder of the deformable distal compression surface;
urging the cap towards the dermal tissue target site such that the deformable portion deforms and that the remainder of the deformable distal compression surface contacts the dermal tissue target site; and
lancing the dermal tissue target site with the dermal tissue lancing device.

Abstract
A method for lancing a dermal tissue target site includes contacting a deformable portion of a dermal tissue lancing device cap with the dermal tissue target site such that an outer rim of a deformable distal compression surface establishes initial contact with the dermal tissue target site. In addition, the aforementioned outer rim is furthermost from a longitudinal axis of the cap in comparison to the remainder of the deformable distal compression surface. Subsequently, the cap is urged towards the dermal tissue target site such that the deformable portion deforms and that the remainder of the deformable distal compression surface contacts the dermal tissue target site. The dermal tissue target site is then lanced with the dermal tissue lancing device.
