The device named BD Vacutainer UltraTouch push button blood collection set is offered by BD (Becton, Dickinson, and Company).
Over the past few years, apart from accurate and fast test results, patients today are looking for an exceptional experience from medical labs and blood collection has emerged as a pivotal first step in the patient care continuum.

The BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch™ Push Button Blood Collection Set is designed with BD RightGauge™ technology, enabling the use of a ‘thinner’ needle for blood collection and combined with BD PentaPoint™ Technology, it results in significant decrease in insertion pain for the patient. Noteworthy to mention that the BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch™ comes with the BD Push Button Technology which reduces chances of getting needle injury by 88%.
Blood collection is a critical aspect in delivering high quality healthcare. It is often the first invasive procedure for patients. 80% patients say that blood collection experience determines their overall satisfaction score for a hospital. So, it becomes critical that this avenue of healthcare delivery is continuously improved. With its advanced technology, BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch™ Push Button Blood Collection Set is likely to reduce needle phobia associated with first time blood collection.
