Description
The EasyPoint Blood Collection Tube Holder with Needle arrives with its needle pre-attached, so there is no assembly before the draw. When the last tube comes off, a squeeze of the finger tab retracts the needle in the vein, and the entire needle is covered at both ends.
- No Assembly – The pre-attached needle is ready to use straight from the package.
- In-Vein Activation – Retraction triggers before the needle leaves the vein, reducing exposure to the contaminated needle.
- Both Ends Covered – After activation the whole blood-filled needle is enclosed, protecting users from both ends.
- Clear Holder – The transparent holder allows visualization of the tubes and blood return during the draw.
Tube Holders with the Needle Already Attached
Conventional holders ask the phlebotomist to thread a needle, draw, then manage a contaminated sharp at the end. This holder removes the threading step and the exposed ending: the needle is oriented bevel up for easy position identification, and the integral retraction mechanism does not interfere with venipuncture. A low-profile tab keeps an optimal view of the puncture site during the draw.
Activation is one-handed, using a squeezing motion that slides the color-coded finger tab toward the clear tab while the hands stay behind the needle. The holder is compatible with standard blood collection vacuum tubes and is non-reusable once activated. Two gauges, 21G and 22G with 1 1/4 in needles, cover routine adult draws, packed 100 per case.
Features and Benefits
Ready to Use
- Pre-Attached Needle – The holder and needle arrive as one device, removing threading and assembly.
- Bevel-Up Orientation – The needle sits bevel up, making bevel position easy to identify before insertion.
- Standard Tube Compatibility – The holder works with standard blood collection vacuum tubes.
Automated Retraction
- In-Vein Activation – Retraction starts while the needle is still in the vein, at the end of the draw.
- Single-Handed Squeeze – The tab motion keeps hands and fingers behind the needle during activation.
- Prevents Needle Removal – The design prevents removal of the needle from the holder, a handling step OSHA regulations prohibit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the holder need assembly before use?
No. The needle is pre-attached and ready to use right out of the package, which removes the threading step from draw setup.
Which tubes fit this holder?
The holder is compatible with standard blood collection vacuum tubes. Seat each tube as usual and remove the last tube before activating retraction.
How is retraction activated?
Once the last tube is removed, squeeze the color-coded finger tab toward the clear tab. The needle retracts automatically into the safety chamber while it is still in the vein.
Can the holder be reused for the next patient?
No. Activation renders the holder non-reusable, and it is disposed of in a sharps container after the draw.
What needle sizes are offered?
Two configurations cover routine draws: 21G x 1 1/4 in and 22G x 1 1/4 in. Both are sold in cases of 100.
