1. A lancing device comprising:
- a housing;
a planar member having a longitudinal axis;
a rail base supported by the planar member along the longitudinal axis;
a rail extending along the rail base and configured to transversely receive a lancet over the rail opposite the planar member;
a lancet configured to straddle the rail, the lancet having a sharp tip and a body;
an end wall with a skin engaging surface and a piercing aperture, the end wall positioned at one end of the rail to slidably move with the rail and planar member in relation to the housing; and
a firing mechanism configured to propel the lancet along the rail.

18. A lancing device, comprising:
-
a housing having an opening; a tray that is adapted to be received within the opening and slidably related to the housing for movement between an open position and a closed position; a rail longitudinally disposed on the tray and having opposing notches, the rail having an end wall with a skin engaging surface and a piercing aperture positioned at one end of the rail to slidably move with the rail in relation to the housing; a lancet having a base portion that spans a top surface of the rail and, a pair of runners that extend substantially parallel to the base and are configured to slide over the rail via the notches to engage the rail; and a firing mechanism configured to propel the lancet along the rail. - View Dependent Claims (19)
