Blood Collection Set (25G x 3/4″, 12″ Tubing, Safety Shield)

The Henry Schein 570-0735 Blood Collection Set is a sterile, single-use winged infusion set (also known as a butterfly needle set) designed for safe, accurate blood collection and short-term IV infusions in hospitals, clinics, and laboratory settings. This hospital-grade phlebotomy device features an ultra-thin 25-gauge, 3/4-inch needle (color-coded orange) bonded to 12″ of soft, kink-resistant transparent tubing with a standard luer adapter. The flexible “butterfly” wings provide excellent control and patient comfort during venipuncture, making it ideal for sensitive or difficult veins (pediatric, geriatric, or patients with fragile veins). The integrated safety shield snaps into place with an audible click immediately after use, locking over the needle to prevent accidental needlestick injuries. Made without natural rubber latex (latex-free) and DEHP-PVC free, this disposable set minimizes allergy risks. Each sterile kit comes ready to use, with a built-in adapter for secure connection to vacuum tubes or syringes, ensuring contamination-free collection of blood samples for laboratory testing, diagnostics, or transfusions.

• Reduces Patient Discomfort: The fine 25G needle and thin-wall design minimize pain and bruising. Flexible winged design allows gentle placement on the skin, improving the blood draw experience for anxious or needle-phobic patients.
• Safety First: The one-hand safety mechanism locks over the needle tip after removal. An audible “click” confirms the shield is engaged, greatly reducing the risk of sharps injuries and ensuring compliance with OSHA safety guidelines.
• Reliable Sample Integrity: Transparent, kink-resistant tubing and a luer-lock adapter enable easy visualization of blood flow and secure attachment to collection devices (vacutainers or syringes), helping prevent sample hemolysis and leaks.
• Versatile Clinical Use: Suitable for routine blood draws, lab specimen collection, blood typing, infectious disease testing, and even short-term IV infusions of saline or medications. Color-coded bright orange wings ensure quick gauge identification (25G).

Uses and Applications

• Blood Collection (Phlebotomy): Designed for drawing blood specimens from patients of all ages. The lightweight winged needle is ideal for difficult venous access sites (e.g., hand veins, scalp veins in infants, elderly patients with fragile veins). It can be used with evacuated tube holders or syringes in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, blood banks, and diagnostic centers.
• Intravenous Medication and Fluid Infusion: Provides a stable, short-term IV access for administering fluids, medications, or contrast agents when larger IV catheters are impractical, especially in neonates or small children.
• Laboratory and Diagnostic Sampling: The secure luer connection and sterile tubing allow direct transfer of blood to lab tubes and point-of-care devices with minimal handling, reducing contamination. Ideal for routine blood tests (CBC, metabolic panels, glucose tests), serology, and transfusion cross-matches.
• Emergency and Field Use: Compact and single-use design makes it suitable for emergency kits, mobile clinics, and home healthcare settings. The safety feature is especially valued in fast-paced environments, ensuring rapid blood draws with built-in injury prevention.
• Patient Care and Monitoring: Useful in situations requiring frequent sampling (e.g., IV therapy monitoring, dialysis, chemotherapy), as its winged stabilization maintains vein access over multiple draws without repeated needle punctures.

How to Use

1. Prepare and Inspect: Ensure the set is unopened and sterile. Check the expiration date and integrity of the packaging. Assemble all supplies: collection tubes, disinfectant swabs, gloves, tourniquet, gauze, and sharps container.
2. Connect to Collection Device: If using evacuated tubes, attach the luer adapter of the tubing to a compatible vacutainer holder or syringe connector. Keep the cap on the adapter until ready.
3. Patient Prep: Apply a tourniquet above the chosen venipuncture site (often antecubital fossa or hand dorsum). Ask the patient to make a fist or hang the arm to engorge veins. Clean the puncture site with an alcohol swab and allow it to air dry.
4. Needle Insertion: Remove the needle cap. Using thumb and forefinger, pinch the butterfly wings together to hold the needle in one hand. With the bevel facing up, insert the needle into the vein at a shallow 10–15° angle. Watch for a flash of blood in the tubing to confirm vein entry. Tape the wings to the skin for stability if needed.
5. Collect Specimens: Release the tourniquet once blood flow is observed. Hold the tubing steady and allow blood to flow into the attached collection tube(s) or syringe. Fill tubes per lab protocol, changing tubes as required. If administering IV fluids/medications, infuse at prescribed rate.
6. Needle Withdrawal and Safety: When the draw is complete, remove the tube and ask the patient to release their fist. Carefully stabilize the wing and withdraw the needle smoothly. Immediately activate the safety shield by pushing or pulling the tab until you hear a click, locking the cap over the needle. Ensure the sharp is fully covered.
7. Aftercare: Apply gentle pressure with sterile gauze to the puncture site, then secure with a bandage once bleeding stops. Dispose of the used blood collection set in an approved sharps container in accordance with OSHA and biohazard regulations.
8. Documentation: Label and send collected specimens to the lab promptly. Document procedure details as per institutional protocol.
