Blood collection instrument with air-free blood collection
A blood collection instrument and plate are described in the filed patent (Publication Number: US20240023852A1). The blood collection instrument includes a blood holding member with overlapped plate-shaped members forming a collected blood holding passage, a connection part at the inflow port, and a puncture member with a hollow needle connected to the blood holding member. The hollow needle communicates with the collected blood holding passage, allowing for efficient blood collection.
The patent also details the blood collection plate, which shares similarities with the blood collection instrument. The plate includes a blood holding member with overlapped plate-shaped members, a connection part at the inflow port for connection to a puncture member with a hollow needle. The connection part may project outward and have a circular cross-section. The collected blood holding passage may have a noncircular shape, while the connection part is more circularly shaped to facilitate blood collection. These innovative designs cater to the specific needs of blood collection for small animals, making the instruments and plates versatile and efficient for use in various settings.
