<p>A holder (41) is disclosed for use with a needle (21) for collecting blood from a donor, the needle (21) having a sharp tip (23) at one end and being mounted in a hub (25) at the other end. The holder (41) is in the form of an elongated tubular member (43) made of plastic and which is open at one end to allow insertion of a blood collection tube (35) and has an opening at the other end to allow insertion of the needle (21), the latter end being sized so as to allow the needle to pass through but to frictionally engage and snugly hold the hub (25) of the needle (21) when the needle (21) is inserted therein. A cover (55) is hingedly mounted on the holder for closing off the end for receiving the blood collection tube (35) and a bracket (57) is fixedly attached to the tubular member (43) for mounting purposes.</p> |
