LANCING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. Lancing system havinga lancet carrier tape that supports a plurality of lancets arranged transversely to its longitudinal direction;
- a transport means serving to move the lancet carrier tape in a transport along a transport path and to thereby move lancets of the lancet carrier tape one after the other to a puncturing position; and
a lancing drive for causing a lancet that occupies a puncturing position to perform a puncturing movement, whereinduring a puncturing movement the lancing drive moves a lancet, that has been brought to a puncturing position, in the puncturing direction together with a portion of the lancet carrier tape on which that lancet is supported and thatonce a lancet has been moved to the puncturing position at least one element of the transport means, arranged behind the puncturing position in the transport direction, performs a movement before or during the puncturing movement of that lancet.

Abstract
The invention relates to a lancing system having a lancet carrier tape (3) supporting a plurality of lancets (4), a transport means (5, 11, 17) serving to move the lancet carrier tape (3) in a feed or transport direction along a transport path and to thereby move lancets (4) of the lancet carrier tape (3) one after the other to a puncturing position, and a lancing drive (6) for causing a lancet (4) that occupies a puncturing position to perform a puncturing movement. It is provided according to the invention that during a puncturing movement the lancing drive (6) moves a lancet (4), that has been brought to a puncturing position, in the puncturing direction together with a portion of the lancet carrier tape (3) on which that lancet (4) is supported and that once a lancet (4) has been moved to the puncturing position at least one element of the transport means (5, 11, 17), arranged behind the puncturing position in the transport direction, performs a movement before or during the puncturing movement of that lancet (4).
