My go-to gear for smooth collections

I’ve been a mobile phlebotomist for a couple of years now, and I’ve found that having the right tools really makes all the difference. My absolute favorite is the butterfly needle; it’s so much easier on patients, especially those with smaller veins; what are some of your must-haves for a seamless collection experience?
