This VanishPoint® blood collection system features a blood collection tube holder and a small diameter tube adapter. The needle is automatically retracted from the patient when the end-cap is closed after the last tube has been removed. This pre-removal activation virtually eliminates exposure to both ends of the contaminated needle, effectively reducing the risk of needlestick injury. The tube adapter adapts a small blood collection tube to the VanishPoint® blood collection tube holder. VanishPoint® blood collection tube holders are compatible with standard, multiple-sample blood collection needles. VanishPoint® blood collection tube holders allow users to keep both hands behind the needle when activating the retraction mechanism. The single-use holder complies with safety regulations and prevents needle removal.
