DiagnoVac Intravenous (IV)

Needles/Scalp Vein Set
The Intravenous (IV) Needles/Scalp Vein Set, commonly referred to as a butterfly needle, is a specialized medical device used for venipuncture, particularly in patients with small or fragile veins. This set features a thin, flexible needle attached to soft, plastic “wings” that aid in the precise placement and secure stabilization of the needle during insertion.
The key components of the Scalp Vein Set include:

Needle: A sharp, thin, and flexible needle that ensures easy and less painful insertion into the vein. The needle is typically short, making it ideal for accessing small or delicate veins.
Wings: Soft, flexible plastic wings on either side of the needle provide a secure grip, allowing healthcare professionals to control the needle placement accurately and stabilize it during the procedure.
Tubing: A length of flexible, transparent tubing connects the needle to the connector, facilitating smooth and unobstructed flow of fluids or blood samples.
Connector: The tubing ends in a standard connector, which can be attached to various medical devices, such as syringes, IV lines, or blood collection systems.

The Scalp Vein Set is available in various gauges to accommodate different patient needs and vein sizes. It is often used in pediatric, geriatric, and oncology patients due to its gentle insertion and reduced risk of vein damage.

This set is sterile and disposable, ensuring high standards of hygiene and minimizing the risk of infection. It is an essential tool in various medical settings, providing a reliable and patient-friendly solution for intravenous therapy, blood collection, and medication administration.
