The BD Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needle (#368607) is designed to bring higher safety and efficiency to phlebotomy procedures. With its 21 gauge and 1¼ inch length, it meets standard venipuncture requirements for adult blood collection. The standout feature is the integrated safety shield which is activated single‑handedly as soon as the needle is withdrawn from the vein — this quick activation helps reduce the risk of needlestick injuries by ensuring the needle is immediately covered.

In practice, the thin‑wall design facilitates smooth blood flow and efficient collection into vacuum tubes, which is important for labs seeking reliable sample quality and minimal hemolysis. The packaging (10 boxes of 48 needles each per case) supports high‑volume use in hospital laboratories or large outpatient draw centers, enabling streamlined inventory management. The product is sterile, single‑use, and made without latex or DEHP, aligning with modern material‑safety standards and reducing concerns about allergic reactions or plasticizers.

From a workflow point of view, the one‑hand activation and audible “click” confirmation give phlebotomists confidence that the safety mechanism has engaged properly. This means fewer steps, minimal disruption to the workflow, and a reduced need for secondary safety devices. For institutions working to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other regulatory mandates around sharps‑safety, the Eclipse system offers a practical and trusted solution.
