About Butterfly Needle - 21G 3/4 in. x 12 in. with sliding safety shield- Box of 100
When a Winged Set Beats a Straight Needle
A butterfly needle, also called a scalp vein set, is a short winged needle attached to flexible tubing for accessing superficial or fragile veins. The plastic wings let you grip flat and anchor the needle once you are in.
That low, secured angle suits hand veins, smaller patients, and anyone whose veins roll under a straight needle.
Why 21 Gauge for Blood Work
A 21G bore is wide enough to draw larger samples and PRP volume without the slow trickle of finer gauges. It threads the line between flow rate and patient comfort.
The 12-inch tubing gives you slack to swap collection tubes while the needle stays seated in the vein.

Product Questions
What is a 21G butterfly needle used for?
The 21 gauge butterfly needle accesses superficial or hard-to-reach veins for blood collection and infusion. Its winged design lets you anchor the needle at a low angle.
Is 21 gauge good for PRP draws?
Yes. A 21G bore moves enough blood for platelet-rich plasma volume and standard lab panels while staying comfortable for most patients.
How does the safety shield work?
The shield slides forward to cover the needle as you withdraw it, lowering the chance of an accidental needlestick after the draw.
How fast does Face Med Store ship butterfly needles?
Orders ship from our U.S. warehouse within 24-48 hours, so your draw consumables stay stocked between appointments.
