Clinical evidence
The studies
behind the laser.
Needle-free laser lancing is an unusual category, so the evidence matters. We share the manufacturer clinical study summary and three peer-reviewed comparison studies against the conventional lancet with NHS Trusts, GP surgeries and POCT procurement teams evaluating the HandyRay range. Request any of them below and we will send the full study across.

Clinical effectiveness and safety of laser lancing for heel puncture in preterm infants
A randomized crossover non-inferiority trial in 40 preterm infants comparing the HandyRay-Pro laser-lancing device against an automatic incision device for heel-prick capillary sampling. Procedural pain was significantly lower with the laser (PIPP 4.5 vs 6.5, P=0.014), skin penetration depth was comparable, and success was non-inferior — evidence in one of the most fragile patient groups.

Peer-reviewed comparison
SCI-indexed comparison study
Biochemical and pain comparisons between a laser-lancing device and a needle
Head-to-head comparison of capillary samples drawn by laser-lancing device versus conventional needle lancet, assessing biochemical equivalence of the sample and patient-reported pain.

Peer-reviewed comparison
SCI-indexed comparison study
Laser-lancing device vs. lancet for capillary blood sampling, haemoglobin measurement and blood typing
Compares laser-lancing and conventional lancet across three downstream uses — basic capillary sampling, capillary haemoglobin measurement and blood-typing — assessing whether laser-drawn samples produce equivalent analytical results.

Peer-reviewed comparison
Peer-reviewed comparison study
Laser-lancing device vs. automatic incision lancet for capillary blood sampling
Comparison study placing the laser-lancing device alongside an automatic incision lancet — the modern, mechanised reference comparator — for capillary draw quality, repeatability and patient experience.
