How is the Vacutainer needle different from a normal syringe needle?
If the patient complains of any of these symptoms during venipuncture, pull out the needle immediately. The vein is first punctured with the injection needle, which is connected to a translucent plastic holder. A patient with veins that can collapse or get injured due to vacuum pressure may need an alternative method of drawing blood or using a smaller syringe. In the case of venipuncture with a syringe, the nurse must apply aspiration pressure against the syringe plunger.
After the puncture, the vacuum in the blood collection tube removes an adjusted volume of blood from the syringe.
What is a multisample needle?
Sharp, smooth edges reduce pain when penetrating and allow easy connection with rubber stoppers The sharp and smooth edges make penetration relatively painless for patients and allow easy connection to blood collection tubes.
