In addition to the lancets, needles, adapters, evacuated tubes and bottles, and other vessels used to contain specimens, other general blood collection products are used to complete the blood draw, dress the patient’s wound, and handle and dispose of the waste upon completion of the procedure.
Phlebotomy chairs provide safer seating for those having blood specimens collected. Available in various styles, most include a moveable mechanical armrest to position and support the patient’s arm during specimen collection.
