ABSTRACT:
A phlebotomy device for taking blood samples and a method of use thereof. This blood collection device can be either self administered or administered by a health care professional. The device includes a stand and a complete disposable proboscis set. The stand facilitates the stable retention of the blood collection tube holder at an angle which ensures accurate and expedient filling of blood sample tubes and the reduction of forthing or aerating. This stand has an open bottom providing a means to apply a needle adapter to the blood collection tube holder, to apply a snout to the needle adapter, and to route the snout through a snout holder. The top of the stand includes a refillable needle disposal pit preferably comprised of hypochlorite clay. The needle adapter, having a needle insertable into a blood collection tube, and the snout are incorporated in the proboscis set. the proboscis set further includes a mosquito needle insertable into a patient's blood vessel, comprising a needle guard, plastic wings with stilt adhesive attached thereon, and a hub to accommodate the connection of the snout. The plastic wings are foldable and attachable to the arm of the patient and maintain the needle at an angle to ensure that the needle penetrates only the upper portion of the vein being punctured, and thus keeps it steadily in place.
