Abstract: A specimen tube for receiving bodily fluids, particularly blood, has a sealing cap having a tip with a pierceable membrane, stopper or similar device, at its end. A guide sleeve can be placed on the tip and carries a single or double needle. The tube can also be provided with an emergency indicator that is configured as an emergency signal colored ring surrounding the tip but leaving free access from outside to the pierceable element at the end of the tip.

Abstract: A butterfly-needle set has an elongated two-part case forming a pair of transversely open slots. An elongated needle in the case has a pair of generally coplanar and oppositely projecting wings projecting out of the case through the slots. The slots are sufficiently long that the needle can move longitudinally between a front position with the needle projecting from a front end of the case and a rear position with the needle completely within the case. An elastically deflectable spring element projects at a small acute angle toward a rear end of the case into at least one of the slots so as to deflect elastically and allow the needle to move from the front position into the rear position and to block movement of the needle from the rear position into the front position.

Abstract: A blood-drawing device has a specimen tube having a projecting tip having an outer connection region of a predetermined diameter and a guide sleeve fittable over the tip and having an inner resilient part. The inner resilient part has an inside diameter smaller than the diameter of the connection region. A needle fitted to the guide sleeve is surrounded by an elastomeric tubular needle shield inward from the guide sleeve. The sleeve can move between an outer position with the needle shield extending inward past the inner needle end and the resilient part offset outward from the connection region and an inner position with the needle end in the specimen tube, the needle shield compressed between the sleeve and the specimen tube, and the resilient part fitting tightly around the connection region and deformed outwardly thereby such that the resilient part grips the connection region.

Abstract: A specimen tube has a tubular body having one closed end and an opposite open end, a cap having an end wall with flat outer face and an opposite inner face and a formation securing it to the open end of the tubular body, and a pierceable membrane disk pressed against the inner face of the end wall. Labeling can be applied to the end-wall outer face.

Abstract: A long-term urine-collection kit has a large-capacity can having a wide mouth, a small-capacity cup having a rim dimensioned to sit in the mouth, and a removable cover fittable over the mouth of the can when the cup is sitting in the mouth. The capacity of the can is enough, e.g. 2-3 l, to hold a day's urine, and the capacity of the cup is enough, e.g. 400-500 ml, to hold a single urination.

Abstract: A tube holding a sample of blood and having an end provided with a pierceable closure is partially evacuated of gas by an apparatus that has a stationary guide defining an axis inclined at an angle to the horizontal. A needle fixed in the guide projects axially downward therein. A slide in the guide forms a downwardly inclined and open seat centered on the axis and adapted to receive the end of the tube. The slide is movable in the guide between an outer position with the seat spaced past an end of the needle and an inner use position with the needle projecting into the seat so that in the use position the needle projects through the closure of the tube fitted to the seat. The slide is urged axially downward in the guide, and a pump is provided for aspirating air through the needle.
