Lance Blood Glucose Test Trainer
Description
Description
Lance Blood Glucose Test Trainer
Lance is a simulated finger stick and blood glucose trainer.
This product enables students or patients to have a life-like experience when learning to test blood sugar using a glucose meter and obtaining a reading.
Lance fits over the finger of a standardized patient or manikin.
Lance ships without fluid in the fingers.
Lance ships with a simulated blood kit. This includes 8 ml of simulated blood, and a 5 ml syringe with a 20G industrial needle. The simulated blood will not register on actual blood glucose meters.
Users will be able to lance the fingertip, get a simulated blood sample and proceed in the simulation with either a simulated blood glucose machine (not included), or an instructor-provided simulated blood glucose level.
Included with Lance Blood Glucose Test Trainer:
- 3 x Fingers
- Instructions for use
- Simulated blood fill kit
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: The SimBlood in the LANCE Fill Kit is giving error readings on my meter.
LANCE is filled with simulated blood not intended to give readings on most machines.
Question: Where can I buy a control solution to fill LANCE MT?
Control solution is available from the manufacturer of your test meter. You will find contact information in the meter user manual or online with that company. In addition, various control solutions are available from online retailers.
Question: My control solution is blue! How do I make my simulation look more realistic?
Following the LANCE MT Filling instructions, fill your syringe with approximately 2mL of the control solution. Also, add a drop of Red Food Coloring before injecting LANCE MT with the control solution. A nice, dark red simulated blood will result. Note that the meter reading will be slightly lower since you’ve diluted the original glucose concentration with the red food colouring. (Be sure to use food colouring without extra sugars in the formulation!!)
Question: How much solution do LANCE and LANCE MT hold?
Approximately 1.5-2.0 ml
Question: Do you have mixing instructions for the Blood Glucose Solution for LANCE?
In conjunction with JC3 Innovations we recommend this formula:
| Distilled Water (ml) | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Fake Blood Gel (ml) | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Glucose (ml) | 0.5 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
| Anticipated Glucose Range (mmol/L) | LOW |
3.9-6.7 | 8.3-16.7 | >18.3 |
Fake Blood Gel must have a thick consistency. The product used for these instructions is Rubies Fake Blood Theatrical. This ingredient prevents leaking from the puncture site. If bleeding from the puncture site is desired, increase the distilled-water-to-blood-gel ratio.
The glucose product should yield approximately 80 calories per 12 fluid ounces. The product used for these instructions is Gatorade G Series sports drink.
After mixing, check glucose with a glucometer. Add glucose product for the desired result. If a precise glucose level is needed for the scenario, the filled LANCE overlay should be tested immediately prior to use. Refill LANCE overlay until the puncture site has a drop of blood.
Question: How many times can I lance LANCE?
LANCE is “Ambidextrous” meaning you can lance it on each side. The number of pricks you accomplish is based partially on the setting on the lancing device, and your tolerance to multiple sites leaking as you milk the finger. Pictured below is a finger that was pierced 10 times on each side.
Question: Lance leaks out of every test site where he has been pricked.
LANCE is made of a polymeric material that does not “reseal” when punctured. It does, however, “reseat” so the reservoir doesn’t usually spill out until you milk the finger for a sample.
Question: What setting should I use on my lancing device?
LANCE can be punctured at the lowest setting on most lancing devices. The lower the setting, the more pricks you can achieve without as much leaking from previous sites.

Let customers speak for us
If i could give it 4.5 I would but I'm much more inclined to say I'm happy with this product. Really good quality, excellent resource for my vet suturing practice. I have a mild complaint about the silk sutures, they rip/ fray more easily than I hoped, but easily rectified by buying new ones (which are cheap) and also encourages me to be more gentle with my knots. I'm so happy with it and it's a perfect still revising break from studying. Thank you Sim and Skills!!!
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
Blood powder was excellent for teaching catastrophic bleed management and it makes so much blood. Would highly recommend.
spare part required for CPR mannikin.
very quick processing and delivery - no problems encountered
I’ve ordered two posters of dog anatomy. I’m very happy with the quality and delivery was very fast. Would recommend
The website description/ part numbers were very clear, ordering and paying was simple, and the goods were delivered very quickly. Thank you.
Great service and speedy delivery. Good quality product too. Will definitely be purchasing more products.
