A scalp vein set, also known as a butterfly needle, is a medical device used for venipuncture, particularly for patients with fragile or difficult veins. It consists of a thin, hollow stainless steel needle with plastic "wings" on either side, a flexible transparent tube, and a Luer lock or slip connector at the end. The wings provide a secure grip for precise needle placement, reducing movement and minimizing patient discomfort.
Scalp vein sets are commonly used for short-term intravenous (IV) access in infants, elderly patients, or those with small or delicate veins. They are ideal for drawing blood samples or administering fluids and medications. The small gauge sizes (typically 18G to 27G) allow gentle insertion, making them suitable for pediatric and geriatric care.
The device is designed for single-use to prevent infections. Some models include a safety mechanism to reduce needlestick injuries. Despite being primarily used on the scalp for infants, scalp vein sets can also be applied to veins in the hand, arm, or foot. Their ease of use and patient comfort make them a valuable tool in medical practice.
