Safety Bleeding-time Devices

Safety Product Category

Safety Bleeding-time Devices

Bleeding time measures the length of time that bleeding occurs after a wound is made. Bleeding time provides information about platelet count and platelet function. Bleeding time is usually within a normal range when the platelet count is greater than 100,000. Bleeding Time Test Devices typically make a standardized incision in the skin of the volar aspect of the forearm. The time when bleeding ceases is reported. This procedure was performed in the past by a lancet stab to the ear lobe or to the forearm. These techniques are now considered obsolete. Modern devices now make uniform, reproducible, surgical incisions for accurate sensitive bleeding time testing. Safety bleeding time devices retract the incision blade for safety to healthcare workers and others.

Heel sticks with a standard needles or lancets create potential needlesticks to healthcare workers and others.

Safety versions of bleeding time incision products are now available.

Safety Angiography Needles

Safety Product Category

Safety Angiography Needles

Safety angiography needles are designed to obtain access to the vasculature of the patient without compromising the safety of the clinician. The needle is used during the seldinger or modified seldinger technique for initial access to the vasculature. Following the needle insertion into the patient’s vasculature, a guidewire is inserted through the needle. The needle is removed from off the guidewire. During this process the needle is protected thus preventing a needlestick to the clinician.

Safety Ampoule Breaker

Safety Product Category

Safety Ampoule Breaker

Ampoules are small glass vessels in which liquids for injections are hermetically sealed. A typical pharmaceutical ampoule has a narrow neck between a cylindrical body and a conical tip. They are opened by snapping off the glass top at the neck. The scoring at the neck does not always break where it is intended. This is due to the glass re-melding to some degree at the score line. When the cap is snapped off, glass chips can fly off and a jagged or sharp edge can cut the hands of the healthcare worker. Safer products exist that remove the risk of broken glass cuts when breaking off the glass top.

 

Qlicksmart SnapIT

Qlicksmart SnapIT is a simply safer way to open glass ampoules, avoiding the unacceptable painful injuries which could be quite serious at times. This easy-to-use multi-use ampoule opener reduces the risk of sustaining a sharps injury by keeping hands out of harm’s way.

SnapIT is simple, safe and cost effective as it 

is reusable and comes in different sizes compatible with different ranges of ampoule sizes.

Safety Amniotic Needle

Safety Product Category

Safety Amniotic Needle

Amniocentesis is a procedure where fluid is aspirated out of the amniotic sac. The amniotic sac is the fluid-filled structure inside the pregnant uterus where the fetus grows. Fetal urine, fetal cells, and various proteins move freely within this sac. During amniocentesis, a long needle is placed through the abdominal wall and into the amniotic sac. Once the needle is in the amniotic sac, a syringe is used to aspirate the amniotic fluid. The fluid is then sent for evaluation. New technologies provide amniocentesis needles that automatically protect the user from needlesticks.

Amniocentesis Needle

Curity Amniocentesis Tray

The Curity Amniocentesis Tray is a high-quality disposable tray that contains all the componnts necessary for the aspiration of amniotic fluid. Features a 20ga x 3 1/2″ Amniocentesis Needle.

Plastic Evacuated blood collection tubes

Safety Product Category

Plastic Evacuated blood collection tubes

Using an evacuated blood collection system to draw blood has many advantages. These include a constant high quality of samples, analysis results, and minimized risk of infection for staff responsible for collecting and processing blood samples. Plastic evacuated blood collection tubes are much safer than traditional glass vessels. Glass containers had been exclusively used in the past because it was impossible to preserve vacuum for long periods of time in other materials. Plastic evacuated blood collection tubes are as clear as glass but are unbreakable. This protects the phlebotomist, laboratory workers, and other healthcare workers.

VACUETTE® Blood Collection Tubes
The advantages of using an evacuated blood collection system made out of plastic has been well known for a long time. It is of the greatest importance to produce high quality samples and analysis results, along with minimized risk of infection to staff. Greiner Bio-One can offer a complete range of evacuated blood collection tubes made out of virtually unbreakable PET-plastic. All of them are equipped with a unique safety cap, which also offers maximum security to healthcare workers. Coagulation is a critical testing area proving to be a challenge to some manufacturers. Not for us at Greiner. The innovative “Sandwich Tube” for coagulation tests consists of two parts. An inner and an outer tube. The outer tube is manufactured from PET and ensures that the vacuum is preserved for a long time. The inner tube made out of polypropylene keeps the volume of the additive constant. Thanks to the double walls, the VACUETTE “Sandwich tube” has a long shelf life, even without additional packaging.
