The DonorCare® Whole Blood Needle Guard is a critical safety device for blood banks and donation centers, designed to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries during blood collection. This guard instantly shields the needle upon withdrawal, ensuring a safer and more efficient process for both healthcare workers and donors. With more than 385,000 US healthcare workers experiencing needlestick injuries annually, the DonorCare® Needle Guard provides an essential layer of protection by immediately covering the needle from any angle upon withdrawal. Its low-profile design minimizes accidental needle movement, further enhancing safety. The guard’s innovative design, which set the industry standard over two decades ago, allows for quick and safe needle withdrawal, improving donor comfort and ensuring needle safety during emergency situations. Compatible with blood collection bag sets, it can be attached during manufacturing or directly at the time of collection. The SampLok® Tube Holder, a companion product, locks and secures both the donor and luer needles, complementing the safety features of the DonorCare® Needle Guard.
