Blood Collection Tube 21G x 3/4″ Winged Safety, Sterile (Myco Medical #GSBCS21G-12)

Myco Medical Supplies’ GSBCS21G-12 is a safety blood collection kit designed for healthcare settings. This sterile, single-use kit combines a 21-gauge × 3/4″ winged (butterfly) infusion needle with 11.8″ of flexible tubing. The tube’s green color coding (standard for 21G) lets clinicians instantly identify the needle size. Packaged 100 per box, each kit includes a pre-sterilized needle and tubing assembly that attaches to standard vacuum blood collection tubes, streamlining phlebotomy procedures. Engineered for patient and staff safety, the integrated needle shield automatically locks after use to minimize needlestick injuries – a practice in line with OSHA’s mandate to implement “safety-engineered” sharps whenever possible. Made entirely of latex-free materials, this kit is suitable for all patients, including those with latex allergies. In sum, the GSBCS21G-12 kit provides a reliable, hygienic, and OSHA-compliant solution for drawing blood in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories.

Key Features

• Sterile & Disposable: Each unit is pre-sterilized and intended for single use. The sterile packaging and single-use design prevent cross-contamination and ensure a hygienic collection process. This aligns with clinical infection-control standards for blood draws.
• Latex-Free Construction: Made without natural latex, the kit eliminates latex-allergy risks. A latex-free kit is crucial in patient safety, as latex allergy can cause severe reactions. This design choice supports broader patient compatibility.
• Safety Needle System: The butterfly needle includes an auto-lock safety shield. After venipuncture, the shield flips and locks over the needle, protecting clinicians and nurses from accidental sharps injuries. This safety feature complies with OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard, which requires use of “effective and clinically appropriate” safeguards such as safety needles.
• 21-Gauge Butterfly (Winged) Needle: A 21G needle is the standard gauge for routine adult venipunctures. It provides efficient blood flow while limiting patient discomfort (smaller bore needles reduce pain. The butterfly wings give the practitioner a stable grip and allow a shallow, precise angle of entry. This design makes blood draws easier and less painful, especially in small or fragile veins (elderly, children, patients with difficult access).
• Flexible 11.8″ Tubing: The included PVC tubing (approx. 30 cm long) adds reach and flexibility, so patients can remain comfortable during collection. The lengthy, transparent tubing allows movement and positioning (e.g., arm support) without dislodging the needle. It also connects easily to standard vacuum collection systems or syringe adapters. The green-coded tubing matches BD-style color coding for quick gauge recognition.
• Bulk-Packaged (100/Box): Economical box quantity for high-volume needs. Each box contains 100 sterile kits, making it cost-effective and convenient for busy labs and clinics. The kits are individually sealed to maintain sterility until use.

Benefits and Clinical Use

This safety blood collection set brings multiple benefits to patient care and healthcare staff. By combining sterile, single-use equipment with a safety-engineered needle, it greatly reduces infection risk and sharps injury potential. According to OSHA, using safety-engineered sharps (like this shielded butterfly needle) is a required “engineering control” to eliminate bloodborne pathogen hazards. The small, sharp 21G needle minimizes trauma and hemolysis during draw, supporting better sample quality. In practice, phlebotomists report that butterfly needles improve success rates in difficult draws: the wings stabilize the needle and the angle of insertion “provides the least amount of patient discomfort”. This means higher patient satisfaction and fewer repeat sticks.

Designed for healthcare environments – including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, blood banks, and outpatient centers – this kit meets clinical standards for infection control, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. The color-coded system helps speed up workflow in a clinical lab setting, and the long tubing gives nurses flexibility during sample collection. By ensuring both patient and provider protection, this Myco Medical GSBCS21G-12 kit supports best practices in blood draw procedures and laboratory diagnostics.

Applications: Ideal for routine venipuncture, phlebotomy stations, lab specimen collection, IV start procedures, or pediatric and geriatric draws. It is fully compatible with common vacuum tube systems (e.g. Vacutainer), making it a versatile choice for general health care and laboratory use.
