  • Patent number: 3999652
    Abstract: A hygienic phlebotomist's tray for restraining the spread of contamination such as blood, phlegm, etc., and hence reducing disease transmission as the tray is transported by a phlebotomist from patient to patient in a hospital. Fresh lengths of sheet material are consecutively advanced beneath the tray as the phlebotomist moves to consecutive patients, the sheet material protecting the bottom of the tray from contact with contaminated surfaces such as overhanging bed tables. A take up roll winds up the thus-contaminated lengths of sheet material with the contaminated side of the material facing inwardly of the take up roll.
