Can the SquareOne 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. Over 85 % of all injections are intramuscular and require use of a needle. The SquareOne Safety Syringe can be also used for IV-type injections. Additionally, other injections, such as subcutaneous, can be accomplished with the SquareOne device, as well. Some procedures require a specific site of injection, such as the knee, foot, hand, mouth, etc. For example, podiatrists use 25 to 50 needles per surgery. The SquareOne device is well-suited for all standard procedures.
