Frequently asked questions
What specialized needle gauges and wall types are available?
The BD Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needles are offered in specific configurations to support efficient multi-sample collection. Available specifications include:
- Gauges: You can select from 21G and 22G sizes.
- Wall Types: The needles come in Standard Wall and Thin Wall designs.
The Thin Wall design is engineered to maximize the inner diameter of the needle, which helps to optimize blood flow during the collection process.
What is the fixed needle length?
The BD Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needles maintain a fixed, consistent needle length across all available configurations.
The standard needle length is 1¼ inches.
This specific length applies universally to both the 21 Gauge (G) and 22 Gauge (G) options, including standard needles, thin wall variants, and those packaged with a pre-attached holder.
Is the safety shield designed for one-handed activation?
Yes, the Bd Vacutainer Eclipse is engineered for maximum user safety and efficiency. Its patented safety shield is designed for quick, one-handed activation.
Key features include:
- Easy Activation: The one-handed mechanism allows activation immediately upon withdrawal from the vein, effectively minimizing the potential for accidental needlestick injuries.
- Audible Confirmation: The device provides an audible click to confirm that the safety shield has been properly and securely engaged after use, giving healthcare professionals instant feedback.
Is there audible confirmation that the safety shield is activated?
Yes, the Bd Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needle provides auditory feedback to ensure user safety.
Key features of this mechanism include:
- An audible click confirms that the patented safety shield has been properly engaged.

This confirmation provides assurance that the sharp point is securely covered, significantly reducing the potential for needlestick injuries.
Are the Eclipse blood collection needles available with a pre-attached holder?
Yes, the BD Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needles are available in configurations that include a pre-attached holder, designed to help streamline the multi-sample collection process.

- Pre-Attached Holder: Available in standard configurations (e.g., 22G x 1¼”).
- Separate Holder: Certain variants, such as the Thin Wall options, are packaged for use with a separate holder.

The BD Vacutainer Eclipse Blood Collection Needles are available in the following specifications:
Sizes (Gauge x Length):
- 22 Gauge (G) x 1¼”
- 21 Gauge (G) x 1¼”
Wall Types:
- Standard Wall: The traditional design for reliable venipuncture.
- Thin Wall: This type features a wider internal diameter, which helps to facilitate faster blood flow when performing multi-sample collection.
