Abstract
This report outlines a case of lateral epicondylitis in a hospital phlebotomist thought to be due to the forceful gripping, and repetitive twisting, involved in breaking the seals on green vacutainer needles. An ergonomic solution in the form of a device to aid breaking of the vacutainer seals is presented. The importance of seeking ergonomic solutions with manufacturers is highlighted.
