Features include: OSHA compliance; one-handed technique and one-step activation; audible and tactile click upon activation; self-sealing synthetic needle sheath; siliconized needle with less drag, which is more comfortable for the patient; and 12" tubing with a multi-sample luer adapter, or pre-attached tube holder.
