Abstract

A method of penetrating tissue is provided. The method comprises using a lancet (12) driver to advance a lancet (10) into the tissue; advancing the lancet (10) at a first desired velocity in a second layer of tissue; and advancing the lancet (10) at a third desired velocity in a third layer of tissue. The method may including using a processor having logic for controlling velocity of the lancet (10) in each layer of tissue. The first velocity is at least partially determined based on hydration of the stratum corneum. It should understand that the lancet driver (12) may be electromechanical.
