The outer diameter-increased section 5 is formed into a configuration of a thin hollow cylindrical body comprising an elastic material. Then, on the inner diametrical surface, a plurality of engaging ribs 5a, 5a and so forth which elastically come into contact and are engaged with the outer diametrical surface 1b of the blood-collecting tube body 1 are provided, and also, a split section 5e for attaching is provided so as to extend to the total length of the outer diameter-increased section 5.
