Extra thin-walled needles
- The 21G and 23G needles are extra-thin walled, resulting in a faster flow-rate with a smaller needle diameter, reducing blood collection times compared to regular walled needles whilst remaining comfortable for the patient.
“Hello, I'm a nurse in Newham Hospital Maryland ward. I work in early pregnancy units. I use EVOPROTECT to do the blood and it was really good. The patient told me that didn't feel the pain which I will recommend it for everyone to use it in the trust. Thank you.”
The VACUETTE® EVOPROTECT SAFETY Blood Collection Set has a semi-automatic safety mechanism. The triggers are located on the side of the product, facilitating one-handed activation.
The needle is then automatically retracted to become safely and irreversibly enclosed in the safety shield. A clearly audible click confirms that the safety mechanism is successfully activated.
The ultra sharp, triple bevel needle tip ensures optimal patient comfort. A view window between the needle and the tubing makes blood flow visible, giving an immediate visual indication that vein entry was successful.
The tubing is designed to ensure that the needle stays as still as possible in the vein, minimizing painful movements. The location of the safety mechanism triggers, on both sides of the device, reduces the risk of the needle jerking in the patient’s vein during activation.
