ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a blood collection tube holder having a body and a protector case, and preferably with a dedicated needle attached to the body. The tube holder is molded of plastic or other suitable material which is sterilizable. The device comprises five parts including the body, protector case, needle, needle protective cap, and a needle boot. The protector case is mounted over the body, and the needle is attached to the body and extends through an opening in the protector case. The needle is covered by the needle protective cap which is removably attached to a needle hub on the end of the body. The needle protective cap is removed for use, and after use the protector case is moved with respect to the body until detents engage openings to thereby lock the protector case in a position shielding the needle. The construction of the holder is such that the practitioner can hold the protector case against the arm of a patient with the index finger and draw the body of the holder rearward with the thumb and forefinger, thereby enabling use with one hand.
