Manual vs Automated Blood Tube Strippers

The medical tool that is used to safely strip undiluted air, liquid, or blood from the rubber tubes of blood bags is called a blood tube stripper. Using the blood tube stripper’s side jaws, the remaining blood in the segments of the tube are separated by cutting between the seals and sealing it mechanically with aluminum clips.

At the present, there are many available options for blood tube strippers regardless if it’s manually operated or automated. In comparison, automated blood tube strippers promote an effortless and smooth stripping of blood bag tubes. This can be attributed to the fact that the automatic device provides better ergonomics.

A manual blood tube stripper on the other hand gives users more control since there is no substitute for human intelligence.
