Vaccutaner Needle

Vacutaner needles, like the disposable venous blood collection needle shown in the image, have several important features for the safety and efficiency of blood collection.

General Features:

Single Use:
Designed for single use only to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Material: The needle itself is made of high-quality stainless steel.

Treated Bevel:
The needle bevel is electrochemically treated to ensure smoother penetration and reduce patient discomfort.

Lubrication:
The cannula is vapor-lubricated to facilitate insertion.

Retractable Sleeve:
A soft, retractable sleeve is provided on the tube side to allow for the collection of multiple tubes.

Gauge Indicators:
Needle size is indicated by a gauge number (e.g., 21G, 23G), with a higher number corresponding to a smaller needle diameter.
