There is a blood collection epidemic going on in America.
Long butterfly tubing is creating a deadly health hazard
because it makes it impossible to control the sharp.

Ever ask yourself why butterfly needle tubing
is so long, dangerous and cumbersome?

Long link tubing complicates infant draws and leads to
problems if the sharp is dislodged by a sudden movement.
Three hands are actually needed to safely attach the

The vacuum collection tube can suck in nerves and small
veins if the needle isn't properly positioned.1
Two or three sticks may be required.

A major company's video shows how unsafe these
needles
are.
Tens of thousands of accidents occur weekly,
most of them as the result of needle design flaws.
Maintaining control of mechanical tools during use
is a fundamental principle of OSHA regulations! OSHA's regulations are broken 400 million times a year by Big Med, which sells winged-sets requiring release of control of the embedded needle to attach and detach the collection vial. Why doesn't OSHA protect us?"

Most of these safer needles are not available in the US. WHY?
Needles cost 2-5¢ to manufacture, and sell for quarters and dollars.
Big Med is working to preserve the status quo.

The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act 2000 (NSPA)
mandates that nurses have the safest needles, but...
...unless leaders speak up, needlestick accidents will only increase.

Lack of indicator functionality in blood
collection needles is not the only issue.
Reused needles kill one million+ people a year worldwide...
...even though single-use needles are readily available.
