A blood sample tube holder for holding a blood sample tube (38) includes a holder body (32) having a needle joint (34) on one end for connection to a blood sample collecting needle, the holder body having an open opposite end. The holder body has a plurality of elastic and flexible lands (46) on an inner wall surface thereof. The lands have radially innermost surfaces arranged such that when the blood sample tube is inserted into the holder body through the open opposite end, the lands are engaged and elastically deformed by the blood sample tube for an increased area of contact with the blood sample tube for holding the blood sample tube in the holder body. |
