Abstract
The present disclosure is a blood collection assembly that has a needle assembly fixedly coupled to a finger-activated actuator and tubing and the needle assembly has a needle. Further, the blood collection assembly has a hub that houses the needle assembly and the hub has a channel in a top surface of the hub. Additionally, the channel slidably engages the finger-activated actuator such that when the finger-activated actuator is moved from a distal end of the hub to a proximal end of the hub the needle retracts within the hub.
Claims11
A blood collection assembly, comprising:
- a hub comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a channel and a compartment, the channel terminating at a distal position and the compartment positioned in a spaced-apart relationship from the distal position on a top side of the hub with the compartment positioned distal the channel;
- a needle assembly having a needle and a finger-activated actuator, the needle assembly slidable within the channel from an advanced position to a retracted position, wherein a distal tip of the needle is positioned distal the hub when the needle assembly is in the advanced position and the distal tip is positioned within the hub when the needle assembly is in the retracted position;
- and
- a shield positioned within the compartment and positioned adjacent the needle when the needle assembly is in the advanced position and between the distal tip and the distal end of the hub when the needle assembly is in the retracted position.
