ABSTRACT:
A blood collection device is disclosed which includes a blood collection tube assembly and a collection container assembly. The collection tube assembly comprises a link of flexible tubing having a venipuncture needle carried on a first end and an outlet carried on a second end. A flow control valve is carried near the outlet end and blocks a central passage of the collection tube in a closed position. The collection container assembly includes an expandable plastic tube which may be expanded by an exterior spring to cause a slight vacuum in the container and assist the blood withdrawal tube. A transfer tube communicates with the interior of the collection container and includes a blunt needle on an inlet end. The blunt needle engages the flow control valve to open the valve and open and allow blood to flow outwardly after the venipuncture needle has been inserted into a vein. The collection tube may be left in the vein while the collection chamber is removed and replaced without the fear of blood spillage since the flow control valve will return to the closed position once the blunt needle is withdrawn.
