Injection and Infusion

A Vacutainer Needle Holder is a disposable plastic device (Class I/II medical device) used to securely hold double-ended blood collection needles and evacuated tubes during venipuncture, enabling safe and efficient collection of multiple blood specimens from a single venipuncture. Made from medical-grade ABS plastic or polypropylene, latex-free, approximately 12 cm length, with threaded end for needle attachment and flanged opening with flexible fingers to securely hold standard evacuated tubes (13 × 75 mm, 16 × 100 mm). Compatible with all standard double-ended needles and safety-engineered needles. Primary clinical applications include blood collection for laboratory testing (hematology, chemistry, coagulation, blood banking), multiple tube collection from single venipuncture, standardized venipuncture procedures, infection control (works with safety needles), and phlebotomy training. Critical safety precautions include single-use only (never reuse), secure needle attachment, immediate disposal of an entire unit with a needle in a sharps container, never recapping needles, and inspection for damage before use. Essential components of blood collection systems in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories.
