(blood sampling) SAFETY TUBE HOLDER, retractable
Definition
A non-sterile, hand-held cylindrical device designed to be used together with a vacuum blood collection tube to draw blood samples from a patient. The device features an integrated active safety mechanism.
It is a hollow plastic adaptor to which the user attaches a blood collection needle at one end and into which the blood collection tube is inserted at the other end; this allows a multiple-tube blood collection via one venipuncture. The semi-automatic activation of the safety mechanism by the user retracts the needle into the holder protecting the needle completely making it safe to dispose after use.
