The BD Vacutainer UltraTouch push button blood collection set employs patented PentaPoint comfort 5-bevel needle technology, which the company claims enhances the patient experience during the blood collection procedure.
The device uses BD RightGauge ultra-thin wall technology, which increases the needle’s inner diameter without impacting the strength of the needle. This enables clinicians to select a smaller gauge needle to enhance the patient experience and aid in difficult venous access, without sacrificing sample quality or tube-fill time.
Mike Fairbourn, Vice President and General Manager, UK and Ireland at BD, said: “The combination of BD’s latest technology will both reduce patient pain and improve clinicians’ ability to access difficult veins, enhancing the experience for all involved.
“With the BD Vacutainer UltraTouch push button blood collection set, clinicians can select the gauge that is most appropriate for their patients, without compromising sample quality, testing accuracy or their own efficiency.”
