BD Vacutainer cannulas

The BD Vacutainer Precisionglide cannulae are an accessory for the Vacutainer blood collection system. Together with the Vacutainer disposable holder, this cannula enables filling of the BD Vacutainer tubes. The Precisionglide thin-wall cannulae are specially polished and coated for gentle puncture, which efficiently reduces the patient's pain sensation. A safety valve above the cannula prevents blood leakage when several tubes are removed in succession while the cannula remains in the vein.

How the Vacutainer System works

The Precisionglide cannula is screwed into the Vacutainer disposable holder with the safety valve and the patient's vein is punctured. A special polishing technology and the patented special coating increase the gliding properties of the Vacutainer cannula and allow easy penetration into the skin. Blood is drawn using the sterile Vacutainer tubes, which are pushed into the holder. In the process, the cannula in the safety valve pierces the rubber stopper of the Vacutainer. The precisely dosed vacuum of the sample tube gently draws in the blood and the Vacutainer automatically fills to the correct volume. The Vacutainer tube can be removed from the disposable holder gently without turning the patient. The integrated valve ensures that no blood escapes when the tube is changed.
