McKesson Prevent G Safety Winged Blood Collection Set - GLIDE with Multi-Sample Luer Adapter

Advanced Safety Blood Collection for Phlebotomy Excellence

The McKesson Prevent G Safety Winged Blood Collection Set delivers superior needlestick injury protection combined with exceptional venipuncture performance for phlebotomy professionals in hospitals, clinical laboratories, physician offices, and blood collection centers. This sterile, single-use winged needle system features an innovative GLIDE safety mechanism that requires no change in needle insertion technique while providing comprehensive protection against accidental needlestick injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure.

GLIDE Safety Technology - No Change in Technique Required

The revolutionary GLIDE safety enhancement represents a breakthrough in phlebotomy safety engineering. Unlike conventional safety devices that require modified insertion techniques or additional training, the Prevent G system maintains the familiar feel and approach of traditional butterfly needles while seamlessly integrating advanced safety protection. Phlebotomists can perform venipuncture using their established techniques, ensuring consistent success rates and patient comfort while benefiting from state-of-the-art needlestick injury prevention.

Built-In Sliding Safety Shield with One-Hand Activation

The integrated sliding safety shield can be activated immediately following blood collection using a simple one-hand technique, allowing phlebotomists to secure the needle while maintaining control of the patient's arm and collection site. This intuitive activation mechanism reduces the time between needle withdrawal and safety engagement, minimizing exposure risk during the critical post-venipuncture period. The one-handed operation is particularly valuable in challenging collection scenarios where maintaining patient contact and site control is essential.

Audible Click Confirms Secure Needle Lock

An audible click provides positive confirmation that the safety shield has fully engaged and the needle is securely locked in the protected position. This tactile and auditory feedback eliminates uncertainty, giving phlebotomists immediate confidence that the device is safe for disposal. The positive locking mechanism prevents accidental shield release or needle re-exposure, ensuring comprehensive protection throughout the disposal process.

Winged Design for Superior Positioning and Control

The ergonomic wing design permits improved needle positioning during venipuncture, providing enhanced control and stability throughout the collection procedure. The flexible wings allow phlebotomists to achieve optimal insertion angles, maintain precise needle placement, and make fine adjustments during difficult draws. This superior control reduces patient discomfort, improves first-stick success rates, and supports efficient blood collection across diverse patient populations and venous access challenges.

Flexible Tubing for Enhanced Handling

The flexible tubing assists in handling and maneuvering during blood collection, accommodating patient movement and various collection positions without compromising needle stability or causing discomfort. The tubing length options (7-inch and 12-inch) provide versatility for different collection scenarios, from bedside draws to seated patients in phlebotomy chairs. The flexible design reduces tension on the venipuncture site, minimizing the risk of hematoma formation and improving patient experience.

Multi-Sample Luer Adapter for Versatile Collection

The integrated multi-sample Luer adapter enables seamless connection to evacuated blood collection tubes and syringes, supporting efficient multi-tube draws without needle manipulation or repositioning. This versatility streamlines collection workflows, reduces procedure time, and minimizes patient discomfort during multi-test blood draws. The secure Luer connection prevents leakage and maintains system integrity throughout the collection process.

Compact Design Enhances Control and Flexibility

The compact, streamlined design enhances phlebotomist control and provides exceptional flexibility during venipuncture procedures. The balanced weight distribution and ergonomic proportions reduce hand fatigue during high-volume collection sessions while supporting precise needle manipulation in challenging anatomical locations such as hand veins, pediatric patients, and geriatric populations with fragile vessels.

Sterile, Non-Pyrogenic, DEHP-Free Construction

Each blood collection set is manufactured under strict sterile conditions and is non-pyrogenic, ensuring patient safety and sample integrity. The DEHP-free construction eliminates concerns about plasticizer leaching and supports compliance with healthcare facility policies regarding phthalate-free medical devices. The latex-free materials protect latex-sensitive patients and healthcare workers from allergic reactions.

Safety and Compliance

This blood collection set supports compliance with OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requirements for engineering controls that reduce needlestick injury risk. The integrated safety mechanism provides passive protection that activates with minimal effort, supporting comprehensive sharps injury prevention programs and protecting phlebotomy staff from occupational exposure to HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and other bloodborne pathogens.

Important Safety Precautions

Handle by appropriately trained healthcare professionals only. All biologic samples and blood collection sharps must be handled in accordance with facility policies. Keep hands behind the needle at all times during use and disposal. Single use only - reuse may cause harmful infections, injury, or death. Gloves should be worn during venipuncture to minimize exposure hazard. Discard all blood collection sharps in biohazard containers approved for their disposal. Do not use if package is opened or damaged. Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
