- Safety Features
Safety is central to the design of Vacutainer needles, with the product line incorporating various safety mechanisms:
- Design Features
These features are designed to enhance the smoothness and accuracy of blood collection while improving patient comfort:
- Low-Angle Bevel Design: BD PrecisionGlide™ needles feature an advanced low-angle bevel design to facilitate smoother venipuncture.
- Silicone Lubricant Coating: The needle surface is coated with a low-friction silicone lubricant designed to reduce insertion resistance.
- Visual Flashback System: A unique feature of the Flashback series. When the needle tip correctly enters the vein, a small amount of blood flows back into the needle or connecting tube, providing immediate visual confirmation.
- Double-Ended Needle Design: Most are sterile double-ended needles. One end punctures the vein, while the other (equipped with a rubber sleeve) pierces the evacuated blood collection tube.
