Genesis Tube Stripper

Description

The Tube Stripper is a “plier-like” tool used to strip/expel undiluted residual blood, in the PVC tubing segment, back into the blood component bag. The Tube Stripper operates on the principle of using two rolling wheels to squeeze fluid forward. The operator manually places the PVC tubing segment between the two roller wheels, grips the clamp body, and slides the Tube Stripper forward along the PVC tubing segment. As the segment is compressed between the two roller wheels, the residual blood within the PVC tubing segment flows forward until it completely drains into the blood component bag. When used in blood/blood component processing applications, the Tube Stripper facilitates manual mixing with anticoagulant and red cells. The Tube Stripper has no intended medical purpose and is not intended for in vitro use in blood banking.
