  • (a) the user positioning a device that includes (i) a rigid base, (ii) a stationary lancet secured to the rigid base and having a sharp region disposed substantially away from the rigid base, and (iii) a compressible lancet cover forming a cavity with the rigid base that covers the stationary lancet, the compressible lancet cover having a hole through which the stationary lancet is configured to pass; and

    (b) the user compressing the compressible lancet cover with a body part onto the stationary lancet, the stationary lancet remaining stationary relative to the rigid base, until said stationary lancet protrudes through said hole in said compressible lancet cover and pierces said body part without first piercing the compressible lancet cover or anything else, producing a wound in said body part.
