Description
The BD Vacutainer Blood Transfer Device is a transfer device with a female luer adapter and pre-attached holder, made for moving syringe-drawn blood into vacuum tubes without an exposed needle. It serves phlebotomists and nurses who draw with a syringe and want the tube transfer step closed and needle-free.
- Needle-Free Transfer – blood moves from syringe to tube inside the device, with no transfer needle exposed
- Female Luer Adapter – the red-capped adapter receives the syringe tip directly
- Pre-Attached Holder – the tube holder is fitted and ready, with tubes seating as in a standard draw
Closing the Riskiest Step of the Syringe Draw
Syringe draws end with an awkward step: pushing blood through a needle into a tube, with a contaminated sharp in one hand and a tube in the other. This device replaces that step with a closed path, since the syringe locks to the female luer and the tube seats in the holder. Blood flows into the vacuum tube under its own draw, and the used device leaves with no exposed needle at any point. The holder carries the molded Vacutainer mark and the flanged base staff already know from standard holders. Bulk cases of 198 keep phlebotomy and ward stock supplied for the syringe draws that happen every shift.

Why the Transfer Step Deserves Its Own Device
Sharps injuries cluster at improvised steps, and needle-to-tube transfer is the classic improvised step in blood collection. A device that closes that step protects staff on every syringe draw, not just the difficult ones.
- No Exposed Needle – the transfer happens inside the device from connection to disposal
- Familiar Handling – tubes seat in a standard holder, so the routine staff know still applies
- Bulk Case Value – 198 per case at a price point built for everyday use
- Vacutainer System Fit – the holder and adapters match BD's Vacutainer collection ecosystem
