Frequently Asked Questions
Which needle gauge should I choose for phlebotomy or standard venous blood collection?
▼
The most common and versatile gauges for routine adult phlebotomy are 21g green and 22g black. The 21g allows for a quicker flow rate, while the 22g offers a more comfortable venipuncture for patients but a slightly slower collection time.
Are the butterfly winged infusion sets listed here suitable for both blood sampling and short-term infusion?

Do you carry vacutainer tubes to complement your blood collection sets?
