Quick Fact: The Most Common Vein Used for Venipuncture is the Median Cubital Vein
At Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy, serving Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, we know precision matters. The median cubital vein, located in the bend of the elbow, is the most commonly used vein for blood draws. Why? It’s large, close to the skin, and doesn’t have major nerves nearby—making it a safe and reliable choice.
Our mobile phlebotomists are trained to identify the best veins quickly and comfortably, no matter the setting.
💡 Fun Fact: The name “cubital” comes from the Latin word cubitum, meaning elbow!
😲 Weirdest Thing: Some people are born without a visible median cubital vein—so we have to get creative!
