A multiple blood sampling device is disclosed together with its method of manufacture. The device includes a housing having a chamber therein, a first cannula attached to one end of the housing, a second cannula attached to the other end of the housing, and a one-way valve provided within the housing. Part of the housing is molded around a portion of the valve to securely hold it in place. Another portion of the valve extends into the chamber where it provides valving action in response to the relative pressures in to two cannulas. When one cannula penetrates the blood vessel of a patient and the other punctures the stopper of an evacuated tube, blood is able to flow through the device and into the tube. Backflow is prevented by the one-way valve.

A method for manufacturing a multipled blood sampling device adapted to be coupled with an evacuated container to obtain blood samples from a patient, comprising the steps of: molding a one-way valve into a desired form including a first portion and a second portion; molding a first housing part around the first portion of said valve so as to securely attach it thereto, molding a second housing part having a chamber around said second portion of said one-way valve so that said second portion freely extends into said chamber; attaching a first cannula to said first housing part; attaching a second cannula to said second housing part, joining said first and second housing parts together permanently, and the valve, housing parts, and cannulas being assembled in such a manner that blood is able to flow through the first cannula, the one-way valve and chamber in said housing parts, and into the second cannula when suction is applied at said second cannula, the valve arranged to prevent any backflow from said second cannula to said first cannula.
