Holder for a blood collection needle

摘要

A holder for a blood collection needle includes a cylinder and a needle fixing mechanism disposed at a distal end wall of the cylinder. The needle fixing mechanism includes a first slider, a second slider, a retainer, and a frame. The first slider and the retainer have half female members integrally formed thereon. The first slider is movable toward the second slider such that the mechanism is in a closed state in which the first slider engages the frame such that the half female members come together to define a complete female member. The second slider is movable toward the first slider such that the mechanism is in an open state in which the first slider is disengaged from the frame. The frame is affixed to the cylinder so as to hold the first slider, the second slider, and the retainer on the end wall thereof.
