blood collections

Blood collection, often called a blood draw, involves using a sterile needle and syringe or a collection tube to safely obtain a sample of blood from a vein, usually in the arm. This sample is sent to a lab for tests that help diagnose, monitor, or rule out medical conditions. The procedure typically takes a few minutes, and healthcare professionals ensure it is done safely and comfortably. Proper technique minimizes discomfort and prevents complications like infection or bleeding. Blood collection is a common and essential part of medical care, providing vital information about your health.
