A blood collection bag assembly (10) is provided. The assembly includes a flexible blood collection bag (16), a length of flexible tubing extending from and communicating with the bag and a connector secured to the end of the flexible tubing remote from the bag. The connector includes a needle pierceable resealable closure secured in sealing engagement with the end of the flexible tubing remote from the bag. The connector can be used with a conventional needle holder (12,18), such as the type used to collect specimens of blood into an evacuated tube. The blood collection bag assembly has no sharp components, and hence is safe and easy to use. Additionally, the blood collection bag assembly can be used with conventional evacuated tubes (14) to avoid cut and drip techniques for collecting specimens of blood for analysis. <IMAGE> |
