Greiner Bio-One manufactures blood and urine specimen collection systems for the medical industry, including plastic evacuated collection sets and accessories, decapper instruments, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analysers, and capillary blood collection systems.
In the mid-eighties, Greiner launched its first blood collection system made with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. This design included a safety cap, which prevents users coming into contact with patient's blood and ensures transportation safety.
Specimen collection for blood and urine
With increases in the prevalence of infectious diseases, the protection of medical staff is of high-importance. The VACUETTE® Blood Collection System addresses that concern, presenting users a safe method of taking blood.
The VACUETTE® system has become a trendsetter and while many components have since been copied, none reached Greiner Bio-One's high-quality design.
The company also produces collection devices for urine samples, as well as other specimen collection equipment such as needles, sharps disposal containers, different types of tourniquets such as the VACUETTE® Super T, and containers for the safe transport of specimen material.
