THE DIFFERENCE IS 70 YEARS OF BETTER OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS AND PROFESSIONALS

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING THE BD VACUTAINER® BRAND TO ENABLE ACCURATE DIAGNOSTICS THAT SHAPE THE COURSE OF CARE

Every day, people entrust their health to their doctors’ treatment decisions—decisions that are informed by a diagnostic result 70 percent of the time. But reliable results would not be possible without proper, safe specimen collection and management by healthcare professionals and the products they choose. Seventy years ago, BD Vacutainer® products helped transform the collection process, making it safer and more comfortable for patients and clinicians. And with your help, we’ve continued to increase sample integrity and set a whole new standard in diagnostic accuracy. We look forward to an even brighter future advancing the world of health, together.

don’t even realize they’ve had their blood drawn, the poke is so much less painful for them. Nurses are happy they can reduce pain for their patients.
