You use your thumb to keep the vein from "rolling" while doing a venipuncture.
The median cubital vein is best for venipuncture because it is generally the largest and best-anchored vein.
When selecting a site for venipuncture, it is best to start with the veins running through the antecubital area. First, locating the Median Antecubital Vein, Cephalic Vein, and Basilic Vein. If unsuccessful with venipuncture, then approaching the dorsum of the hand, and lastly the dorsum of the foot.
phlebotomy or venipuncture

cephalic
A venipuncture is a puncture in a vein. As when a person gives blood or has a blood test run.
I always preferred the back of the hand or those big veins that converge about an inch above the wrist. But most techs are taught to go to the antecubital vein.

The medial cubital or celphalic
Venipuncture is the medical term used when drawing blood. Basically, it means your vein has had a needle stuck into it for some purpose.
the vein thats most subjected to venipuncture is located in the Antecubital fossa (the inner bend of the elbow) in the median antecubital vein(median cubital)
