An improved syringe collection tube
is now available which meets OSHA requirements. It is made of a clear, heavy
30 mil. plastic tube with international biohazard markings printed in bright
orange on the side. The end caps are also bright orange. The inside
measurements of the tube are 7 3/4" long by 1" in diameter. One end cap is
not removable. This end contains an inert sealing material which will
enclose the "business" end of the needle. This sealing material is designed
to prevent leakage of the contents of the syringe. The proper method of
placing a syringe and needle inside a storage tube is to place the opened
tube on a tabletop or counter top. WITHOUT picking up the tube, hold the
syringe in ONE HAND and slide it, needle-end first into the tube. Keeping
the other hand out of the way will prevent accidental punctures from the
needle. The end cap of the storage tube has flat sides on the caps to
prevent it from rolling or sliding while placing the syringe inside, and for
ease of storage. |
