The vacuum blood collection system has gained considerable importance in recent years. It is considered one of the best equipment for blood specimen collection, which is ideal for research purposes. The medical industry is expecting to make significant market opportunities through the next year and beyond. Many companies are involved in the vacuum blood collection system business. These companies are producing both disposable and permanent collection systems for collecting blood and other types of fluids from individuals. This vacuum blood collection system is a very cost-effective method of obtaining a quality specimen. For instance, in May 2021, a health and well-being solutions providing company in the U.S., Thorne HealthTech, acquired the blood testing solutions providing company, Drawbridge Health, to provide innovative healthcare solutions in the U.S.
There are two types of this product. There is a traditional model and the automated one. In the traditional vacuum blood collection system, there is no needle. This means that the volume of the fluid collected is lesser when compared to the automated one. The vacuum blood collection tubes are made up of a hollow outer tube with a flexible end. The ends of the tubes are designed for easy collection of a volume of the fluid.
In the present day, there is a new type of vacuum blood collection system called multi-sample needles. These are extremely small devices that have the capability of drawing a volume of blood multiple times in a single procedure. They are very
similar to the traditional venipuncture needles but have a better design. The main advantage of using multi-sample needles is that a patient can be presented with a smaller number of needles for the same amount of blood drawn during the procedure.
The key component of the vacuum blood collection system is the collection needle. Unlike the traditional venipuncture needle, the new collection needle has two different ends. The first end is placed into the reusable venipuncture cup and the second end is attached to a disposable collection needle. This ensures that the blood is drawn only once and then the needle is disposed of while the new one is reused. Both the needle and the collection needle should be sterile and certified for use.
