Key Features

• Safely Pierce Unit Segment.
• Segment device works on your existing tube.
• Eliminates need for using scissors to open segment.
• Protects staff from contamination.
• Fits over tube for quick, safe, and easy device removal.
• Reduces potential of exposure to biohazardous materials.
• The Hematype is a low-cost solution to a dangerous problem in blood banks.
• Normally, to type or crossmatch blood samples, a technologist removes a flexible segment of tubing filled with blood from a blood bag, cuts through the tubing with scissors, and squeezes the sample into a glass test tube.
• This often results in blood spraying onto the lab counter and the technician.
• Improper cleaning of the scissors between cuttings can also cause contamination of blood samples.
• The Hematype is a simple plastic device that fits on top of a test tube.
• Rather than cutting the blood-filled tubing, the technician inserts it into the Hematype, where a needle pierces the tube, and squeezes the sample into the test tube.
• The Hematype and inserted tubing segment can then be discarded in a biohazard container.
