Usually, the operation takes two-hands and requires the switching of vials during the procedure, during which the needle could be jostled in the patient's arm or the vials could be contaminated. Blood Valve is an interconnected series of automatically sealing vials with an easy-to-hold handle. The clear channel allows the phlebotomist to see when the blood is flowing.
