BD 367960 Vacutainer PST Blood Collection Tubes 3 mL 13mm x 75mm, 100/box. BD Vacutainer® PST™ Tubes contain spray-coated lithium heparin and a gel for plasma separation.

BD Vacutainer® PST™ Lithium Heparin Tubes eliminate the need to wait for a clot to form, making it an ideal tube for STAT procedures, as well as for patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. The BD Vacutainer® PST™ Tube still provides the convenience of gel separation with the added advantage of improved turnaround times.

As a safety precaution to those doing the testing, BD has also created the Hemogard closure. It is made of rubber and seals the Vacutainer tightly from inside and with a plastic shield to avoid contact with blood when un-stopped. The shield prevents blood from splattering and from collecting on the edge of the tube or lid. This minimizes risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens protecting the professional doing their job.
