Proper Needle Insertion in Phlebotomy: Why It Matters

Proper Needle Insertion in Phlebotomy: Why It Matters

At Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy, serving the tri-state of Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, proper needle insertion is a cornerstone of safe and comfortable blood collection. Correct technique ensures accuracy of lab results, reduces patient discomfort, and prevents complications like bruising or vein injury.

Our trained professionals follow strict protocols—selecting the right vein, inserting the needle at the proper angle (usually 15–30 degrees), and stabilizing the vein to minimize pain. This attention to detail not only protects the patient but also ensures reliable samples for diagnosis.

Fun Fact: The average adult has about 100,000 miles of blood vessels, giving phlebotomists plenty of options when finding the right vein!

Weirdest Thing: Some patients faint before the needle touches their skin—proving that anxiety can sometimes be more powerful than pain.

Trust Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy for skilled, gentle, and professional care.
