Can the Protectus Device be used for drawing blood from a patient?
Although it could, the device will not generally be used to draw blood. It may be used in the laboratory for non-invasive procedures relating to blood, but the blood-drawing procedure is usually done with a phlebotomy device coupled with a vacuum container, a future product of Protectus Medical. Over 85% of all injections are intramuscular and require use of a needle. The Protectus Safety Syringe can also be used for IV-type injections. Additionally, other injections, such as subcutaneous, can be accomplished with the Protectus device. Some procedures require a specific site of injection, such as the knee, foot, hand, mouth, etc. The Protectus device is well-suited for all standard procedures.
