Medical Disposable Sterile Luer Lock/luer Slip Scalp Vein Set with Butterfly Needle

Medical Disposable Sterile Luer Lock/luer Slip Scalp Vein Set  with Butterfly Needle

It is used for blood sampling and quick small infusion solutions, frequently used in treating patients with contractures and in pediatric patients. It is primarily used for venipuncture, also known as winged infusion or butterfly set. The IV catheter has functions similar to the butterfly needle, which serves as a route for administering continuous medication, fluids, or blood.

Butterfly needle parts

From the butterfly needle diagram, we can see that parts include

1. Hypodermic needle

2. Two flexible bilateral wings are used mostly, but a single wing is widely used in Chinese hospitals.

3. Flexible small-bore transparent tubing (20-35 cm long)

4. Luer lock/slip connector

5. Plastic cap

Features and Benefits

*Butterfly set is designed for long-term infusion.   It is primarily used for venipuncture and intravenous infusions.

*Flexible elastic extension tubing allows safe injection away from the venous puncture site, reducing the risk of displacement.

*Scalp vein set is designed to provide rapid venous infusion with greater patient comfort.

*Thin wall needle provides a better flow rate per gauge because more circumference is available for better fluid flow.

*Short beveled siliconized needle leads to atraumatic cannulation.  Injection needles with high-grade stainless steel and a triple bevel edge guarantee the needle’s atraumatic and painless insertion.

*Butterfly-shaped wings facilitate easy handling and attachment with the skin.

When the vein is punctured to insert the needle, the thumb and index finger hold the Butterfly with its wings.  This style of grasping the Butterfly, which is very close to the needle, leads to the needle’s accurate and well-directed placement and facilitates its insertion.  The set’s design makes it possible to insert the needle at a shallow angle.  When the needle accurately punctures the vein, there is a backflow of the blood in the set’s transparent tubing, signaling and showing that the cannula is inside the vein.

The Butterfly has several advantages over a simple straight needle.  With its flexible tubing, it could be attached to more body surfaces and thus tolerate the movements of the patient.  Because the Butterfly could be held firmly while inserting, “rolling,” fragile, or inaccessible veins could be accurately punctured.  Butterfly needles are often preferred for their lower pain levels, ease of insertion, and suitability for pediatric patients.  In contrast, straight needles may be more appropriate for more prominent veins and certain situations like hep locks.

*Butterfly is attached to a soft, non-toxic, non-irritant, medical-grade tube, which does not kink or coil.

*Provided with flexible Luer fitting.

*Butterflies are color-coded to determine needle size easily.

Advantages of Using Scalp Vein Set

Inserting an IV line into the peripheral vein of a child or infant is very challenging and risky.   This is because this age group has peripheral veins that are narrower, have more subcutaneous fat, and their veins easily constricted.   They are restless and very uncooperative during the procedure.   The scalp veins provide a secondary option for peripheral intravascular access in small children and infants because it has minimal subcutaneous fat, making it easier to see the veins.   The head can be readily controlled, thus reducing the infant or child’s unnecessary movements and the absence of a flexible joint;   these factors reduce the likelihood of catheter dislodgment, common with IV catheters placed in the arms or legs.   In this instance, the scalp vein set is the most appropriate and safest device to use.
