Globally, each year, more than one billion patients have blood collected by venous devices1. With medical care advancing, demand for blood testing and phlebotomy services is growing, but overstretched healthcare institutions are struggling to meet this increased demand. In such a pressurised environment, healthcare professionals (HCPs) and phlebotomists need better access to safe, simple, easy-to-use venepuncture devices and comfortable, high-quality equipment.
At Owen Mumford, we have more than 35 years of experience leading the development of blood sampling devices. Our Unistik venous blood collection portfolio builds upon this expertise to offer two devices with one-handed safety mechanisms that minimise the risk of needlestick injury and provide a safe, quick and easy way to perform venous blood collection procedures.
Phlebotomists experience, on average, one accidental percutaneous blood exposure every year2. Therefore, devices for blood collection should be as easy to use as possible.
Owen Mumford’s Unistik venous blood collection range features safety mechanisms to help reduce the risk of such needlestick injuries, for safer blood collection procedures.
Our range of educational tools provides clear and simple guidance for blood collection and capillary puncture, creating a positive sampling experience for you and your patient.
Our Unistik venous blood collection range responds to the safety features healthcare professionals need from a venepuncture device. Each device provides protection once the needle is removed from the vein, allowing HCPs to safely draw large volumes of blood with ease and minimal discomfort to the patient.
Our Unistik products feature safety mechanisms to help reduce the risk of needlestick injuries, for safer blood collection procedures. Explore which product is right for you and your patients’ blood collection procedures.
