LANCING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A lancing system for collecting samples of a body liquid comprising:
- a lancet supply strip with a plurality of lancets, arranged transversely to the lengthwise direction of the lancet supply strip;
a feed mechanism for transporting a lancet supply strip, placed in a receptacle, to move the lancets of the lancet supply strip one after the other to a puncturing position; and
a lancing drive for causing a lancet, which occupies the puncturing position, to perform a puncturing movement,characterized bya bending mechanism for bending a section of the lancet supply strip in lengthwise direction of the lancet supply strip and for thereby separating a lancet tip of a lancet from the lancet supply strip for a puncturing action.

Abstract
The invention relates to a lancing system for collecting samples of a body liquid having a receptacle for accommodating a lancet supply strip with a plurality of lancets, arranged transversely to the lengthwise direction of the lancet supply strip, a feed mechanism for transporting a lancet supply strip, placed in the receptacle, to move the lancets of the lancet supply strip one after the other to a puncturing position, and a lancing drive for causing a lancet, which occupies a puncturing position, to perform a puncturing movement. The lancing system is characterized by a bending mechanism for bending a section of the lancet supply strip in lengthwise direction of the lancet supply strip and for thereby separating a lancet tip of a lancet from the lancet supply strip for a puncturing action.
