ABSTRACT:
A medical safety device which reduces the risk of transmitting disease to health care personnel who take or handle body fluid samples such as blood samples. The device reduces the risk of the transmission of disease caused by needlestick and accidental spillage of fluid samples. The device comprises a funnelshaped needle guard having a neck portion which fits snugly over the end of a sample tube such as a vacuum tube. The glass sample tube is coated with a resin to make it substantially shatterproof. The interior surface of the needle guard has interconnecting vertical and circular grooves to channel accidentally spilled fluid into the tube.
