BD Vacutainer Luer-Lok Access Device

A Threaded Connection for the Draws That Don't Go Perfectly Still

Pulling a blood or urine sample directly from an existing catheter or Foley port skips a second needle stick, but it depends on a secure connection holding through the draw – something a slip-fit luer can lose if a patient moves or the line tugs. The threaded Luer-Lok design is built to stay seated through that kind of movement. This device lets a standard evacuated tube holder connect to a catheter, IV port, or syringe rather than requiring a fresh venipuncture every time a sample is needed, which is a meaningful time and stress savings on a patient who's already catheterized. A case of 198 supports routine use across a hospital's diagnostic workflow.
