Abstract: Devices for extracting blood or other body fluids, and particularly for extracting blood from the umbilical cord. A hypodermic needle for insertion into the umbilical cord is attached to a valve housing, to which is connected one or more vacuum containers or test tubes. One or more valves in the housing may be positioned to connect the needle with each vacuum container or test tube as desired. Bodily fluids may thus be extracted without the need to perform multiple injections or to stick multiple vacuum containers with the same syringe. The devices lend convenience to the newborn blood testing process and reduce the chances of inadvertent blood spillage.
