Butterfly Needle – 21G 3/4 in. x 12 in. with sliding safety shield- Box of 100

• 21 Gauge needle. Its size and gauge allow medical and aesthetic practices to efficiently extract blood from superficial veins or infuse intravenous medication into a patient’s body. 
• Safety features for administering needles. The butterfly needle’s wings allow you to administer the needle into the skin with one hand. This can give you more control over how you administer extractions or infusions and provide you with better accuracy. The safety mechanism can be activated immediately after the blood draw to help protect against needlestick injury
• Single-use product. Each needle is sharp and smooth enough to minimize pain and discomfort. It’s also E/O sterilized, individually wrapped,  and meant for single use to minimize the risk of contaminating or infecting patients during the injection.

• Minimizes pain and discomfort. The sharp needle minimizes your skin’s resistance when punctured. This makes the overall experience easier, safer, and less painful for your patients. 
• Stabilizes your injection. The durable plastic wings can stabilize the position of the needle once it’s been injected into the veins. This can minimize the pain, tissue damage, and potential disruptions that can be caused if a patient moves during treatment. 
• Minimizes the risk of damage from injections. Unsupported needles used for longer processes like extractions or infusions have a risk of vein collapse, bleeding, nerve injury, and other injuries. But with the butterfly needle’s stabilizer, you can minimize movement and keep the needle within its place.

For blood extractions, hold the “wings” of the butterfly needle with your index finger and thumb for better accuracy. Insert the hypodermic needle at a shallow angle until a small amount of blood sample starts filling the transparent tube. 

For injecting medication, place the fluids in a syringe connected at the top of the butterfly needle. Insert the intravenous needle into a patient’s superficial vein and then press down the plunger to deliver the medication. 

Butterfly needles are for single use only. After the extraction, activate the safety mechanism by sliding the shield over needle to help protect against needlestick injury and dispose of the entire blood collection set properly according to your local guidelines.
