25. A body fluid sampling device, comprising:
-
a housing; a penetrating member positioned in the housing; a front end coupled to the housing that includes a rigid structure and an aperture to allow the flow of the body fluid through the front end, the front end being configured to provide that movement of the front end aperture is constrained to a direction parallel to a direction of applied finger pressure to the front end.
