A method for producing analytical aids for obtaining bodily fluid, in particular lancets or microsamplers, in which the aids are formed as a shaped part (10) from a flat metallic material by material separation on shaped part edges (28), wherein at least one sharp shaped part edge (28) is finished by laser irradiation, a laser beam (36) is guided repeatedly over the shaped part (10) along an irradiation path (38) in irradiation intervals, and the shaped part edge (28) is rounded by the cumulative energy input of the laser beam (36).
