Silicone-coated Rubber Stoppers for Blood Collection Tubes are designed to reduce friction and enhance the ease of needle penetration during blood collection procedures. These stoppers feature a thin layer of silicone lubricant applied to the puncture site, allowing the needle to glide smoothly through the stopper without resistance or tearing. Silicone-coated rubber stoppers minimize trauma to the patient's skin and vein, reducing discomfort and the risk of hematoma formation. They are particularly beneficial for patients with fragile or delicate veins, as well as for healthcare professionals performing high-volume blood draws.

Hemogard rubber stoppers are engineered to minimize the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and infectious fluids during blood collection procedures. These stoppers feature an integrated safety shield or barrier that covers the puncture site after needle withdrawal, effectively encapsulating the contaminated area. Hemogard rubber stoppers help prevent accidental needlesticks and reduce the risk of contamination, providing an added layer of protection for healthcare workers and laboratory personnel. They are commonly used in blood collection tubes for venipuncture and arterial blood gas sampling, where the potential for exposure to bloodborne pathogens is higher.

Color-coded rubber stoppers are designed to facilitate easy identification and differentiation of blood collection tubes based on their intended use or additive content. These stoppers feature distinctive colors that correspond to specific blood collection tubes or additives, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly and accurately select the appropriate tube for each patient. Color-coded rubber stoppers help prevent specimen mislabeling or mix-ups, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring accurate test results. They are commonly used in laboratory settings and blood collection centers to streamline workflow and improve sample traceability.
