Description

• Made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
• Provide a safer work environment for all personnel by (1) reducing risk of tube breakage during handling; (2) eliminating breakage when tubes are centrifuged at higher speeds; and (3) eliminating breakage or chipping of tube rims when stopper is removed and reinserted
• In addition to reducing potential injuries, fewer tube breakages result in less workflow interruption and fewer patient redraws, providing smoother day-to-day operation

Hemogard™ Stoppers

• Safety shield designed for safer tube handling
• Rubber stopper is recessed inside the plastic shield, so any drops left by a blood collection needle remain isolated from potential contact
• Shield is designed to protect lab personnel from direct contact with blood on the stopper or around the outer rim of the tube, as well as from blood splattering upon opening the tube
