ASHWAUBENON, Wis., and NORCROSS, Ga., Feb. 29—Shopko has become the latest retail chain to make SurgiLance® Safety Lancets available to the public.
Shopko has begun to stock the yellow SurgiLance® SLN100 Safety Lancet in more than 135 stores nationwide.
Founded by pharmacist James Ruben, Shopko combines health care services with a large discount store.
Introduced by MediPurpose™ in 2006, the SLN100 is most often used for glucose testing and has quickly become a product of choice for both children and adults living with diabetes. Consumers that opt for the SurgiLance® Safety Lancet over the common diabetes pens often praise its added protection as well as its ease of use and performance.
"Lik
e all SurgiLance® Safety Lancets, the SLN100 has a high-speed delivery that frequently results in less pain for users," said Ed Smith, MediPurpose's lancet market director. "In a recent study of almost 200 people living with diabetes, 84 percent experienced less pain using the SLN100 than the pain that they experienced with their usual testing device."
The continued expansion of the SLN100 is indicative of a high adoption rate by consumers, said MediPurpose Vice President for Sales and Marketing Randy Prather. "We are pleased with this new relationship with Shopko and look forward to continued service to consumers in the United States and around the globe."
