Definition of Lancet
Lancet definition - medical term
A small pointed knife; a surgical instrument with a short, wide,
sharp-pointed, two-edged blade; a little knife with a small point. Lancets are used
today to prick the skin (a finger, foot, ear lobe, etc.) to obtain a small quantity
of capillary blood for testing.
A venerable medical journal published in England is called The Lancet.
The word "lancet" comes from the French "lancette." It is literally a miniature
version of the lance once carried by knights jousting on horseback and, somewhat
more recently, by mounted cavalry.
