The Greiner Bio-One Vacuette® Safety Blood Collection Set (450082V1) is a sterile, winged blood collection device engineered to enhance user safety and venipuncture control. It features a 23 Gauge x 3/4 inch needle with 7.5 inches (19 cm) of flexible tubing and a pre-attached Luer adapter for secure connection to collection systems.
This set incorporates a semi-automatic safety mechanism that can be activated while the needle is still in the vein, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. The transparent needle hub allows for immediate visual confirmation of blood flashback, ensuring accurate vein entry and successful collection.
