Alcohol Swabs

Alcohol Swabs are sterile, single-use, individually packaged pads saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol, the standard concentration for optimal bactericidal and virucidal activity. They are the fundamental device for skin antisepsis prior to injections, venipuncture, intravenous cannulation, and minor surgical procedures, and for disinfection of vial tops and intravenous injection ports. Clinical efficacy requires a minimum 30-second application with mechanical friction followed by complete air drying (30 seconds) before skin puncture. Alcohol is rapidly bactericidal against vegetative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, tuberculocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal against enveloped viruses, but ineffective against bacterial spores and non-enveloped viruses. Critical safety precautions include avoidance of mucous membranes, strict single-use protocol, awareness of flammability (keep away from ignition sources), and absolute requirement for complete drying to prevent injection site pain and medication inactivation. Latex-free and available in various sizes.

SAFE SERIES Blood Collection Needles

Original price was: $88.46.Current price is: $84.04.
The SAFE SERIES  (AM-SAFE) by Beijing Precil (Mindray subsidiary) is a comprehensive line of safety-engineered blood collection devices designed to prevent accidental needlestick injuries in healthcare workers. The series includes venous blood collection needles (AM-SAFE-V), standard safety needles (AM-SAFE1), winged infusion sets/butterfly needles (AM-SAFE2), high-gauge thin-wall needles for fragile veins (AM-SAFE3), premium coated needles for enhanced patient comfort (AM-GOLD), and nurse-friendly one-handed safety variants (AM-NURSE). All devices incorporate integral safety mechanisms that shield the contaminated needle immediately after withdrawal, complying with OSHA Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act requirements. Available in various gauges (18G-25G) and configurations for routine venipuncture, difficult vein access, pediatric/geriatric patients, and frequent blood draws. Sterile, single-use, latex-free, and color-coded for easy gauge identification. Essential safety devices for blood collection in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and home healthcare settings.

Tourniquet

A Tourniquet is a constricting device applied to a limb to occlude blood flow for hemorrhage control, surgical bloodless field, or venous engorgement. Combat application tourniquets with windlass mechanisms are essential for stopping life-threatening extremity bleeding in trauma, military, and prehospital settings. Elastic tourniquets facilitate venipuncture by engorging superficial veins. Pneumatic tourniquets create controlled ischemia for extremity surgery. Proper application, time documentation, and understanding that tourniquets for hemorrhage control should not be loosened until surgical control are critical for safe and effective use.

Vacutainers

Vacutainers are sterile, single-use, evacuated blood collection tubes used for the collection, transport, and processing of venous blood specimens for laboratory diagnostics. Each tube contains a pre-measured vacuum that draws a precise volume of blood and, in most tubes, a specific additive (anticoagulant, clot activator, preservative, separation gel, or culture media) that preserves specimen integrity for the required analysis. International color-coding of tube closures (e.g., lavender-EDTA, light blue-citrate, gold-serum separator) enables immediate identification of additive and intended use. Available in glass or shatter-resistant PET plastic, with draw volumes ranging from 2 mL to 10 mL. Strict adherence to the CLSI-recommended order of draw, complete fill volume, gentle mixing, and immediate centrifugation are essential for specimen quality and accurate test results. An indispensable device in modern laboratory medicine, clinical practice, and blood banking.
