BD PentaPoint™ 5-bevel needle technology has demonstrated
When compared to a 25G BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch™ push button blood collection set.5,*
BD RightGauge™ technology
increases the needle’s inner diameter and enables clinicians to select a smaller gauge needle without sacrificing sample quality and blood flow.5,6
BD Push Button technology
provides split-second needle retraction, which is designed to be activated while in the patient’s vein. This patented safety mechanism is clinically proven to reduce costly needlestick injuries over forward-shielding safety blood collection sets by up to 88 percent.7
Pre-attached Holder
combines the holder and wingset in a fully sterilized package, offering an integrated device that may simplify the phlebotomy procedure.
