The VanishPoint® blood collection set (BCS) is a novel safety blood collection device that features automated in-vein retraction, which virtually eliminates exposure to the contaminated needle.  The unique design has integrated finger grips that allow for handling ease.  The automated needle retraction is activated by depressing a retraction trigger located near the finger grip area, allowing for easy one-handed activation, without changes in hand position, while reducing the risk of inadvertent activation.  In addition, the needle retraction automatically clamps the tubing, reducing the risk of exposure to blood and prevents reuse.

The VanishPoint® BCS is not made with DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber latex and may be used for short-term infusion (up to 2 hours).  The kink-resistant tubing is available in 7-inch and 12-inch lengths.  This product is available in needle gauges of 21, 23, and 25 and includes a removable luer adapter.

Other safety products from Retractable Technologies, Inc. include the VanishPoint® syringe, IV catheter, and blood collection tube holder.  Another is the Patient Safe® syringe, which has a unique, patented design that reduces the risk of luer tip contact contamination and medication contamination.
