The BD Vacutainer Eclipse 22 G × 1¼″ blood collection needle is designed for routine venipuncture and multi-sample blood collection in clinical and laboratory settings. Its 22-gauge size offers a balance between patient comfort and sufficient lumen size for efficient blood draw, especially for patients with average to smaller veins. The thin-wall design enhances flow performance, helping ensure swift sample collection while maintaining procedural correctness.

From a safety standpoint, this needle features an integrated shield mechanism that is activated using a single-hand technique—once the needle is withdrawn from the vein, the operator can engage the shield, which audibly clicks into place, providing both tactile and auditory confirmation of activation. This helps reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries, aligning with regulatory and institutional safety standards. The fact that it is latex-free and DEHP-free further supports usage in settings with allergy concerns and sensitive patient populations.

For high-volume phlebotomy operations such as hospital labs, blood banks, outpatient clinics or mobile collection units, the packaging (48 per box, 10 boxes per case) facilitates efficient inventory management and consistent workflow. The BD branding and compatibility with the Vacutainer system ensure ease of integration with existing multi-sample collection workflows. In short, this product brings together performance, safety and operational efficiency in one solution.
