The use of a needle to transfer venous blood from a syringe to a blood collection tube or blood culture bottle is both a dangerous procedure and an OSHA-prohibited practice. The BD Vacutainer® blood transfer device was designed with healthcare workers’ safety in mind. The single-use device reduces the risk of transfer-related injuries, while maintaining the specimen integrity required for accurate results.

• This device is an assembled, latex-free, single-use; sterile device undeniably reduces the risk of transfer-related injuries while maintaining specimen integrity. The device meets all procedural and safety standards for blood transfer from a conventional hypodermic needle and syringe to a blood collection tube or blood culture bottle.
• The holders are made of polypropylene and the hubs are made of polycarbonate.
• 20 guage needle on the non-patient end of the device.
