Abstract
A lancing device having a domed structure that can be depressed by application of a force by a user's finger so as to expose the tip of a needle. The domed structure is configured to move from a non-depressed state to a depressed state in a manner that allows for the piercing the users finger. The domed structure may then recoil to its original, non-depressed position upon the user ceasing to apply the force.

A lancet device comprising:
- a base having first external threads, a first opening and a second opening;
- a lancet comprising a needle having a tip and having a position relative to the base, the lancet received in the base through the first opening and attached to the base via second threads at the first opening allowing the lancet to be adjustably positioned within the base, the tip of the needle protruding through the second opening;
