Urine Collection Products
BD Vacutainer
®
urine products for the collection and transport of urine specimens offer the same level of safety and standardisation as BD blood
collection products. For urine analysis, BD provides plastic evacuated tubes with or without preservative to be used with BD collection devices, specimen
cups, 24 hour 3L containers and transfer straws. For microbioogy determinations, BD offers a complete range of plastic paediatric and adult boric acid
based preservative tubes, all clinically validated for 48 hour specimen stability at room temperature. Once sampled from the various patient collection
sites, the BD leak proof evacuated urine tubes can be safely transported to the laboratory for analysis. The BD Vacutainer
®
closed urine collection and
transport systems are designed to provide accurate patient results with reduced risk of healthcare worker exposure to hazardous specimens.
