Frequently asked questions
A standard multisample blood collection needle has no built-in safety mechanism — after withdrawal from the patient's vein, the uncapped needle must be recapped or discarded, which is the moment of highest needlestick risk. The BD Vacutainer Eclipse has an integrated safety shield permanently attached to the needle hub. After blood collection, the healthcare worker uses one hand to press the textured thumb pad forward, pivoting the shield over and covering the needle tip completely. The shield locks with an audible click — confirming activation. The covered needle can then be safely detached from the holder and discarded. This active, one-handed activation mechanism requires no additional steps, no second hand approaching the needle, and no separate recapping motion, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injury during the most hazardous phase of the blood draw.
The BD Vacutainer Eclipse is available in two standard gauge and length configurations: 21G x 1.25 inch with green shield (REF 368607) — the most commonly used gauge for routine adult blood collection in veins of average size, and 22G x 1.25 inch with black shield (REF 368608) — the finer gauge for smaller, more fragile, or difficult veins where reduced needle diameter minimises trauma and bruising. Both are available in the standard needle-only format (requiring a separate Vacutainer holder) and in the preattached single-use holder format (21G REF 368650, 22G REF 368651) which combines needle and holder in a single ready-to-use device that reinforces OSHA single-use holder compliance.
Multi-sample blood collection needles are designed to allow multiple vacuum blood collection tubes to be drawn from a single venepuncture. The needle has a standard luer or Luer-lock connection at the hub for attachment to a Vacutainer holder, and the back end of the needle (inside the holder) is covered by a sleeve that reseals between tube changes to prevent blood from leaking out of the hub when tubes are swapped. The patient is needled once. The first tube is inserted into the Vacutainer holder, fills under vacuum, and is removed. The next tube is inserted and fills. This continues for as many tubes as the test order requires. The multi-sample feature is essential in clinical settings where multiple test orders (a full biochemistry panel, haematology, clotting, etc.) must all be drawn at a single sitting.
The BD Vacutainer Eclipse blood collection needle is supplied in: 48 per box (standard clinical pack — both REF 368607 for 21G and REF 368608 for 22G); 480 per case (10 boxes per case — available as 368607-CS and 368608-CS case formats for high-volume procurement). The preattached holder versions (REF 368650 and 368651) are typically supplied in packs of 50 per box. Needles are individually sterile-wrapped within the box and are single-use only. Each box is labelled with gauge, REF number, and sterilisation information.
BD PrecisionGlide is BD's proprietary needle manufacturing technology applied to the point geometry and sharpening of the needle tip. The technology produces a triple-bevel ground needle tip with a precise, consistent angle and bevel configuration that is designed to minimise insertion force and cut cleanly through tissue with minimum resistance. The clinical outcome is a smoother needle entry with less pain reported by patients and less vascular trauma compared to standard-grind needles. Additionally, PrecisionGlide needles have thin-wall tubing — maintaining the inner diameter of the needle despite the same outer diameter — which allows adequate blood flow rates for the collection volume required without needing to increase the gauge size.
BD Vacutainer Eclipse blood collection needles do not contain natural rubber latex in the needle or shield components. The standard Vacutainer tube stoppers historically contained natural rubber latex, but BD has transitioned its Vacutainer tube range to latex-free BD Hemogard closures across most product lines. For patients with documented or suspected latex allergy, both the collection needle and the blood collection tube stopper and closure should be confirmed as latex-free before use. The BD Eclipse needle hub and shield components are latex-free. Always check the specific product labelling and IFU for the most current latex statement for any BD product being used in a latex-sensitive patient.

ClearNeedle Introducer Needle
Some devices do not ask for attention. They simply do their job with quiet precision. The ClearNeedle Introducer Needle belongs to that category. Designed for vascular access and guidewire introduction during interventional procedures, it offers the balance of sharp entry, control, and reliability that clinicians expect. Manufactured from medical grade stainless steel with a precision ground bevel, this introducer needle supports smooth vessel access with reduced tissue resistance. The transparent hub allows clear visualization of flashback, helping practitioners confirm placement with confidence. Color coded hubs simplify gauge identification in busy clinical settings where time is measured in seconds. For distributors and importers, reliability is more than a feature. It is a commitment. At Sara Wellness, we supply ClearNeedle Introducer Needles to global buyers seeking consistent quality from an experienced Indian exporter.

ClearNeedle Y Shape Introducer Needle
There's a needle you reach for when precision matters most, and then there's every other needle. The ClearNeedle Y Shape Introducer Needle from Newtech Medical Devices falls firmly in the first category. Designed for the Seldinger technique, this is the needle that gets the guidewire in without fuss, without excess blood loss, and without putting clinicians through three extra steps when one should be enough. The Y-shape hub is the feature that sets this variant apart from the square and round hub versions. Two ports. One puncture. The side port allows guidewire insertion while the main lumen is still in place, which means less manipulation, less patient trauma, and a cleaner procedure from start to finish. The transparent hub also lets the clinician catch blood flashback the moment the vessel is accessed. That kind of visual feedback isn't a luxury. In a critical vascular access situation, it's everything. The cannula is crafted from SS304V surgical-grade stainless steel with a polymer coating, which does two things well. First, it reduces insertion friction noticeably. Second, it keeps the needle tip sharper for longer during use. Thin outer wall construction means the inner diameter is wider relative to the gauge, giving the guidewire more room to travel — exactly the kind of engineering detail that interventional cardiologists, nephrologists, and anaesthesiologists actually notice. Now for the part that matters to you as an importer or wholesale distributor. This product ships in boxes of 50, individually sterile packed, ethylene oxide sterilized, ready for hospital procurement and retail pharmacy channels alike. It moves well across African hospital networks, Middle Eastern medical wholesale chains, and South and Southeast Asian distributors — markets where Seldinger-based vascular access procedures are performed at high volume every single day. Sara Wellness has been supplying cathlab consumables, needles, and vascular access products to international buyers for over 15 years. We don't do bulk quotes via a contact form and a 5-day response time. Every inquiry gets a real conversation with a real person, a quick turnaround on pricing, and a transparent view of what's in stock and what the lead time looks like. Minimum order quantities are negotiable, particularly for buyers who are adding this to an existing product mix from us. If you're placing a combined order across multiple needle types or cathlab consumables, we'll work the pricing to reflect that. Clean documentation, proper export packaging, and on-time shipments are not selling points for us. They're just how we operate.
Unolok 2ML Single Use Syringe
The 2mL syringe sits at the intersection of the most common injection volumes in clinical practice: vaccine doses, subcutaneous medications, intradermal tests, small-volume IM injections, and local anaesthetic delivery in minor procedures. It is not the largest syringe in the tray, but it sees more use than most others combined. Unolok 2mL Single Use Syringe is a disposable, luer-lock-tipped syringe from Hindustan Syringes, designed for single-use parenteral administration. The luer lock connector provides secure needle attachment that does not slip under injection pressure, which is important for IM and deep SC injections where some resistance is encountered. The transparent polypropylene barrel allows clear visualization of the aspirated volume and any blood flashback during aspiration checking. The plunger movement is smooth and calibrated, which matters for the small-volume accuracy that a 2mL syringe demands. At this volume, calibration errors of even 0.1mL represent a 5% dose deviation, which is clinically significant for many medications and vaccines. Manufacturing to ISO standards ensures that the graduation marks are accurate and the barrel dimensions are within tolerance. The syringe is supplied individually wrapped and EO-sterilized, ready for direct clinical use from the peel-open pack. Each outer pack displays batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, and sterilization indicator. For hospital pharmacy teams, vaccination program coordinators, outpatient department procurement managers, and national immunization program supply chains, 2mL syringes represent one of the highest-volume consumable categories in the clinical supply chain. Sara Wellness exports Hindustan Syringes products and medical disposables from India for 15 years with institutional pricing and complete export documentation.
