Could any one help me out here??

[robin730]

I recently went for my routine blood test. . The man present out there used Venipuncture process to draw the blood..I dint saw whether he used a new needle or not and on being asked he told me that the needle made for venipuncture are such that they cant be reused again even if some one tries,it is a Auto Disposable syringe thats why it was introduced..so my ques is this?
Is it possible to use reuse a needle which is attached to a vacutainer or it is a Auto disposable syringe which cannot be used even if some one tries from it??
I ll be hoping for a reply soon nad hope u guys are 100 % sure?

Cmon Teak  i am ready to move along but at least tell me what the lab technician has told me is correct or not?At least i should know this..please

I am expecting a clear cut answer Bro. .if thats not true tell me.. ill be more cautious in future..but please tell me what the truth is?

[Teak]

I will say it again, no one reuses needles. You don't have an HIV concern.

[robin730]

I know Teak nobody does but could you please answer my part of ques that whether it is a auto discard type of needle which cannot be used more than once?

[Teak]

No one reuses needles.

Do u agree with what he said? I heard its a very good forum full of experts..

[LIZZIE LOU]

believe what he told you

[robin730]

Thanks, but i got a bit tensed . . could u jus please tell whether the full part of that needle which is attached to vacutainer is re usable or not?? He told me that as soon as you draw the blood for the first time there is a hook that breaks down making it abs useless to draw blood and this is the reason why traditional syringes are not used now a days to draw blood..Please tell me whether its true or not this and believe m i ll be a much more relieved man

[LIZZIE LOU]

you do understand that the majority of ppl NEVER even worry about a lab tech drawing their blood, don't you?????

no one reused a needle to draw your blood...that is totally irrational thinking.
