BLOOD COLLECTION SET

A blood collection set, also known as a phlebotomy set or needle assembly, is a medical device used to draw blood from a patient's vein for diagnostic testing, blood donation, or medical treatments. It typically consists of a needle, tubing, and a collection container (like a vacuum tube or blood bag). The healthcare professional inserts the needle into the patient's vein, and blood flows through the tubing into the collection container.

Blood collection sets are designed to ensure safety, minimize pain, and maintain the integrity of the collected blood sample. They come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different purposes, such as venipuncture for routine blood tests or larger collections for blood donation. Proper disposal and sterilization of these sets are essential to prevent infections and ensure the safety of both healthcare workers and patients during the blood collection process.
