It prevents blood from clotting
Blood clotting does occur for blood in uninjured blood vessels due to its insulation from air. Our bodies produce what is called heparin that prevents clotting of blood in vessels. Heparin allows our lungs to transfer oxygen to our blood. When blood is exposed to air it clots so heparin allows the blood to come in direct contact with the air we breath without clotting.

to prevent blood from clotting
Heparin is a type of blood thinner. An IV Heparin lock is when heparin is put into an IV, Port, or Central Line to prevent blood from clotting in the line between uses.
A substance that prevents or slows the clotting of blood is called an anticoagulant.
Heparinized blood is blood that has been treated with heparin, an anticoagulant medication, to prevent the blood from clotting. This treatment is commonly used in laboratory settings to collect blood samples for testing without the risk of clotting.
