Abstract

A blood collecting device according to the present invention is a blood collecting device, wherein a columnar liquid absorber, which contains a blood coagulation preventing solution, has a slit, and temporarily absorbs a predetermined amount of blood without coagulation is disposed at a tip end, and a pressing body which presses a rear surface of the liquid absorber to separate the liquid absorber is provided.

Claims

1. A blood collecting device, wherein a columnar liquid absorber, which contains a blood coagulation preventing solution, has a slit, and temporarily absorbs a predetermined amount of blood without coagulation is disposed at a tip end, and a pressing body which presses a rear surface of the liquid absorber to separate the liquid absorber is provided.

2. The blood collecting device according to claim 1, wherein a position of the center of gravity is designed so that a tip end does not contact a surface of a table when the blood collecting device is placed on the table with its center axis nearly horizontal, and a projection which prevents the blood collecting device from rolling on the table is provided at a central part.

3. The blood collecting device according to claim 1 or 2, comprising:

releasable lock means which stops movement of the pressing body to stop the pressing body from pressing the absorber, and releases the stoppage to make movement of the pressing body possible.

4. A blood collecting bottle, wherein when the blood collecting device according to claim 3 is pushed in and fitted in, the blood collecting device abuts on an inner wall and releasable lock means of the blood collecting device is released, and when the pressing body of the blood collecting device is pressed, a liquid absorber is separated from the tip end of the blood collecting device, and the liquid absorber is immersed in a contained drug solution, and the blood temporarily absorbed in the liquid absorber elutes into the drug solution.
