The Vacutainer® System
vacutainer needle holderThe Vacutainer® System consists of a double-pointed needle, a plastic holder or adapter and a series of vacuum tubes with rubber stoppers of various colors. The colors indicate the type of additives (or no additives). Blood collection using the evacuated tube collection system produces the best blood samples for analysis by the laboratory. They also are safe and easy to use because the patient's blood flows directly into the appropriate test tube.
