A multiple-draw syringe for extraction of a fluid into at least one fluid container comprising a cylindrical body having a distal end and an open proximal end, a hollow needle extending from the distal end, a piston sealably engaging and slidable along an interior wall of the cylindrical body, a ball check valve, a plunger for moving the piston proximally or distally within the cylindrical body, and a conduit extending through the piston to an enclosed fluid collection receptacle. The distal end includes a first chamber provided with a fluid inlet at one end and a fluid outlet at an opposite end. The first chamber has a conical sidewall adjacent the fluid inlet and a plurality of radially spaced stems adjacent the fluid outlet. The distal end is open to the flow of a fluid into the cylindrical body through the first chamber when the syringe is in use. The piston includes a piston face extending transversely across the interior wall and defines a fluid chamber between the piston face and the distal end of the cylindrical body. The ball check valve is positioned in the first chamber to permit flow of fluid through the first chamber in one direction only. The plunger is attached at one end to the piston and has another end extending beyond the open proximal end of the cylindrical body. The conduit has a sufficiently narrow, uniform internal diameter to induce the passage of a fluid from the fluid chamber through the conduit and into the enclosed fluid collection receptacle.

[ I claim:] [1.] A multiple-draw syringe for extraction of a fluid into at least one fluid container comprising:a cylindrical body having a distal end and an open proximal end, said distal end including a first chamber provided with a fluid inlet at one end and a fluid outlet at an opposite end, said first chamber having a conical sidewall adjacent said fluid inlet and a plurality of radially spaced stems adjacent said fluid outlet, said distal end being open to the flow of a fluid into said cylindrical body through said first chamber when said syringe is in use;a hollow needle extending from said distal end of the cylindrical body and in fluid communication with the first chamber through said fluid inlet;a piston sealably engaging and slidable along an interior wall of said cylindrical body, said piston including a piston face extending transversely across said interior wall and defining a fluid chamber between said piston face and said distal end of said cylindrical body;check valve means in said first chamber to permit flow of fluid through said first chamber in one direction only, said check valve means including a ball larger in diameter than said fluid inlet and shiftable from a position in engagement with said conical sidewall whereby to close said fluid inlet and a position supported by said stems in spaced relationship from said fluid outlet whereby to permit flow of fluid through said first chamber, out of said fluid outlet and into said fluid chamber;plunger means for moving said piston proximally or distally within said cylindrical body, said plunger means being attached at one end to said piston, said plunger means having another end extending beyond said open proximal end of said cylindrical body, said plunger means having a size and shape that minimizes substantial lateral motion in said cylindrical body; andconduit means extending through said piston to an enclosed fluid collection receptacle, said conduit means having a sufficiently narrow, uniform internal diameter to induce the passage of a fluid from said fluid chamber through said conduit means and into said enclosed fluid collection receptacle, said conduit means further including a conduit chamber provided with a conduit inlet at one end and a conduit outlet at the opposite end, said conduit chamber having a conduit conical sidewall adjacent the conduit inlet and a plurality of radially spaced stems adjacent said conduit outlet, said conduit inlet being open to the flow of a fluid into said enclosed fluid collection receptacle through said conduit chamber when said syringe is in use, and a second check valve means in said conduit chamber to permit flow of fluid through said conduit chamber in one direction only, said second check valve means including a ball larger in diameter than said conduit inlet and shiftable from a position in engagement with said conduit conical sidewall whereby to close said conduit inlet and a position supported by said stems in spaced relationship from said conduit outlet whereby to permit flow of fluid through said conduit chamber, out of said conduit outlet and into said enclosed fluid collection receptacle.
