What you need to know about catheters and butterflies? Butterfly catheter - for all occasions Butterfly for intravenous administration

In medical practice, for administering medications (infusion solutions) into peripheral veins of small diameter, as well as for collecting blood for analysis. infants and patients in an unstable condition (neurosis, intoxication, excitability, epilepsy, etc.) use a device such as a butterfly catheter (butterfly needle, infusion cannula). It is used as blood substitutes and infusion solutions in veterinary medicine.

A butterfly catheter is a flexible, thin, transparent tube that allows manipulation away from the venipuncture site, reducing the risk of needle dislodgment and accidental damage to the vein. At one end of the tube there is a thin-walled needle with a protective cap, and at the other end there is a Luer or Luer-Lock connection with a protective cap for convenience during repeated infusions, allowing choice depending on the medical procedure being performed. The tube is made of medical grade polyvinyl chloride, the needle is made of medical steel with a triangular sharpening for easy insertion into a vein. The butterfly catheter is also equipped with flexible wings made of lightly colored polyethylene, color-coded according to the ISO standard.

High-quality for infusion into small veins has the following characteristics:

• atraumatic needles that provide easy, painless insertion under the skin;
• sterility and absolute safety;
• non-toxic, non-pyrogenic;
• presence of a protective cap;
• thin flexible connecting tubes for infusion;
• easy and effective fixation of the device on the skin surface;
• a wide range of needle sizes, allowing their use depending on the diameter of the vein and the viscosity of the injected solution.

Buy a butterfly catheter for infusion into small veins

Medicines can be administered directly into the blood using intravenous catheters. They are installed once and can be used many times. Thanks to this, there is no need to constantly prick your hands in search of veins.

Principle of catheter design

First of all, the medical staff should know how to administer intravenous infusion of medications. But if patients know information about the procedure, they may be less afraid.

Catheter for intravenous administration medicines- This is a hollow thin tube. It is inserted into the bloodstream.

This can be done in the arms, neck or head. But inserting catheters into the vessels of the legs is not recommended.

These devices are installed so that there is no need to constantly pierce the veins. After all, this can cause them to become injured and inflamed. Constant damage to their walls leads to thrombus formation.

Types of devices

IN medical institutions can use one of four types of catheters. The following types are distinguished:

Models intended for short-term use;

Central peripheral intravenous catheters, which are installed in the veins of the arms;

Tunneled catheters, which are inserted into wide bloodstreams, such as the vena cava;

Subcutaneous venous catheters inserted in the area chest under the skin.

Depending on the materials used in the manufacture of these devices, metal and plastic models are distinguished. Choosing what you need in each specific case option is carried out only by a doctor.

Metal catheter for intravenous infusions is a needle that is connected to a special connector. The latter can be metal or plastic, some of them are equipped with wings. Such models are not used very often.

Plastic catheters are a connected plastic cannula and a transparent connector that are pushed onto a steel needle. Such options are used much more often. After all, they can be used longer than metal catheters. The transition from a steel needle to a plastic tube is smooth or cone-shaped.

Steel catheters

There are several metal options models designed for intravenous administration medicines. The most popular among them are butterfly catheters. They are a needle made of chromium-nickel alloy, which is integrated between two plastic wings. On the other side of them there is a flexible transparent tube. Its length is about 30 cm.

There are several modifications of such catheters.

So, they can be with a short cut and a small needle or with a flexible tube installed between the connector and the needle. This is intended to reduce the mechanical irritation that occurs when a steel IV catheter is used. A photo of such a device makes it possible to understand that there is nothing terrible if they install it on you. The picture shows that the needles in them are quite short.

A special peripheral intravenous catheter with soft wings can ensure the safety of a puncture even in hidden and hard-to-reach veins.

Disadvantages and advantages of metal models

In modern medical practice, steel options are used extremely rarely. After all, their service life is quite short - they can remain in the vein for no more than 24 hours. In addition, hard needles cause vein irritation. Because of this, thrombosis or phlebitis may develop. Also, the possibility of trauma or necrosis of part of the vein wall cannot be excluded. And this may cause extravasal administration of the drug.

Through such catheters, solutions are injected not along the blood flow, but at a certain angle. This causes chemical irritation of the inner layer of the vessel.

To prevent the possibility of complications when working with steel intravenous catheters, they must be firmly fixed. And this limits the mobility of patients.

But, despite all the disadvantages described, they also have a number of advantages. The use of metal catheters reduces the risk of developing infectious lesions, because steel does not allow microorganisms to enter the bloodstream. In addition, they are easier to install in thin veins that are difficult to visualize. Therefore, their use is practiced in neonatology and pediatrics.

Modern devices

In medical practice, catheters with steel needles are currently practically not used, because the comfort and safety of the patient come to the fore. Unlike metal model, a plastic intravenous peripheral catheter can follow the bends of the vein. Thanks to this, the risk of injury is significantly reduced. The likelihood of blood clots and infiltrates is also minimized. In this case, the time that such a catheter remains in the vessel increases significantly.

Patients who have this plastic device, can move calmly without fear of damaging the veins.

Varieties of plastic models

Doctors can choose which catheter to place in a patient. You can find models on sale with or without additional injection ports. They can also be equipped with special fixing wings.

To protect against accidental punctures and prevent the risk of infection, special cannulas have been developed. They are equipped with a protective self-activating clip, which is installed on the needle.

For the convenience of injecting medications, an intravenous catheter with an additional port can be used. Many manufacturers place it above the wings designed for additional fixation of the device. When administering medications into such a port, there is no risk of cannula displacement.

When purchasing catheters, you should follow the recommendations of doctors. After all, these devices, although externally similar, can differ significantly in quality. It is important that the transition from needle to cannula is atraumatic, and that there is minimal resistance when inserting the catheter through the tissue. The sharpness of the needle and its sharpening angle are also important.

An intravenous catheter with a Braunulen port has become the standard for developed countries. It is equipped with a special valve, which prevents the possibility of reverse movement of the solution introduced into the injection compartment.

Materials used

The first plastic models were not very different from steel catheters. Polyethylene could have been used in their manufacture. The result was thick-walled catheters, which irritated the inner walls of blood vessels and led to the formation of blood clots. In addition, they were so rigid that they could even lead to perforation of the vessel walls. Although polyethylene itself is flexible inert material, does not form loops, it is very easy to process.

Polypropylene can also be used in the production of catheters. Thin-walled models are made from it, but they are too rigid. They were mainly used to access arteries or to insert other catheters.

Later, other plastic compounds were developed, which are used in the production of these medical devices. Thus, the most popular materials are: PTFE, FEP, PUR.

The first of them is polytetrafluoroethylene. Catheters made from it glide well and do not lead to thrombus formation. They have high level organic tolerance, so they are well tolerated. But thin-walled models made of this material can be compressed and form loops.

FEP (fluoroethylene propylene copolymer), also known as Teflon, has the same positive characteristics, as PTFE. But, in addition, this material allows for better control of the catheter and increases its stability. A radiopaque contrast medium can be injected into such an intravenous device, which will allow it to be seen in the bloodstream.

PUR material is a well-known polyurethane. Its hardness depends on temperature. The warmer it is, the softer and more elastic it becomes. It is often used to make central intravenous catheters.

Advantages and disadvantages of ports

Manufacturers produce several types of devices designed for intravenous administration of medicinal solutions. According to many, it is preferable to use cannulas equipped with a special port. But it is not always the case. They are necessary if the treatment involves additional infusion of medications.

If this is not required, a regular intravenous catheter can be installed.

A photo of such a device makes it possible to see that it is very compact. Devices without additional ports are cheaper. But this is not their only advantage. When using them, there is less chance of contamination. This is due to the fact that the injection element of this system is separated and changed daily.

In intensive care and anesthesiology, preference is given to ported catheters. In all other areas of medicine, it is enough to establish the usual option.

By the way, in pediatrics they can install a catheter with a port for injecting medications even in cases where children do not need to have an IV installed. This is how antibiotics can be injected, replacing injections into the muscle with intravenous administration. This not only increases the effectiveness of treatment, but also facilitates the procedure. It is easier to install a cannula once and almost imperceptibly inject the medicine through the port than to give painful injections several times a day.

Dimensions of plastic models

The patient should not choose which intravenous catheter he needs to buy.

The size and type of these devices are selected by the doctor depending on the purposes for which they will be used. After all, each of them has its own purpose.

The size of catheters is determined in special units - heych. In accordance with their size and throughput, a unified color marking has been established.

The maximum size for the orange catheter is 14G. This corresponds to 2.0 by 45 mm. You can pass 270 ml of solution per minute through it. It is installed in cases where the transfusion of significant volumes of blood products or other liquids is necessary. For the same purposes, gray (16G) and white (17G) intravenous catheters are used. They are capable of flowing 180 and 125 ml/min, respectively.

The green catheter (87G) is installed in those patients who are routinely receiving red blood cell (blood) transfusions. It operates at a speed of 80 ml/min.

Patients who undergo long-term daily intravenous therapy (2-3 liters of solutions per day are infused) are recommended to use the pink model (20G). When installed, infusion can be carried out at a rate of 54 ml/min.

For cancer patients, children and patients who require long-term intravenous therapy, a blue catheter (22G) can be inserted. It passes 31 ml of fluid every minute.

To install a catheter in thin sclerotic veins, yellow (24G) or purple (26G) catheters can be used in pediatrics and oncology. The size of the first is 0.7*19 mm, and the second is 0.6*19 mm. Their throughput 13 and 12 ml respectively.

Carrying out the installation

Every nurse should know how to place an intravenous catheter. To do this, the injection site is pre-treated, a tourniquet is applied and measures are taken to ensure that the vein is filled with blood. After this, the cannula, which the nurse takes in the hand with a longitudinal or transverse grip, is inserted into the vessel. The success of venipuncture is indicated by the blood that should fill the catheter imaging chamber. It is important to remember: the larger its diameter, the faster this biological fluid will appear there.

Because of this, thin catheters are considered more difficult to work with. The cannula should be inserted more slowly, and the nurse should also focus on tactile sensations. When the needle enters the vein, a hole is felt.

After contact, you need to push the device further into the vein with one hand, and fix the guide needle with the other. After completion of catheter insertion, the guide needle is removed. It cannot be reattached to the part remaining under the skin. If the vein has been lost, the entire device is removed and the insertion procedure is repeated again.

It is also important to know how intravenous catheters are secured. This is done using an adhesive plaster or a special bandage. The site of entry into the skin itself is not sealed, as this can lead to the development of infectious phlebitis.

The final step is flushing the installed catheter. This is done through installed system(for unported options) or through a special port. The device is also washed after each infusion. This is necessary in order to prevent the formation of blood clots in a vessel with an installed catheter. It also prevents the development of a number of complications.

Exist certain rules working with intravenous devices medicines.

All health care workers who will select or install an intravenous catheter should know them. The algorithm for their use provides that the first installation is carried out from the non-dominant side at a distal distance. That is the best option is the back of the hand. Each subsequent installation (if long-term treatment is necessary) is done on the opposite hand. The catheter is inserted higher along the vein. Compliance with this rule allows you to minimize the likelihood of developing phlebitis.

If the patient undergoes surgery, it is better to install a green catheter. It is the thinnest of those through which blood products can be transfused.

Butterfly catheter - for all occasions

What are peripheral catheters used for?

A peripheral catheter is a medical device designed and used for long-term (up to three days) administration of medications, liquids into venous vessels or removal of liquids from the circulatory system.

The catheter is inserted using a special hollow needle. This product is usually inserted into the arms, neck or head. In this case, various infusion systems are connected to the second end of the catheter.

Interestingly, such products are the best option when there is a need for intravenous administration of drugs for a long time.

What is a butterfly needle?

A butterfly catheter is a type of intravenous catheter. This is a sterile, single-use injection needle with locking wings that is great for short-term drug administration or blood collection.

The main purpose of the “butterfly” for which it is suitable the best way– introduction of medications and drugs into peripheral small veins during infusion therapy. Also, a butterfly catheter, which you can buy on our website in the appropriate section, provides the opportunity to collect blood from so-called “problem patients.” At the same time, it is the latter reason that determines the high demand and relevance in the departments of intensive care, pediatrics and veterinary medicine.

As practice shows, peripheral veins located on the forearms or in the cubital fossae are most often used to carry out procedures for intravenous administration of drugs and solutions, as well as drawing blood using a butterfly needle.

Features of the butterfly needle

This catheter is characterized by a number of advantages and disadvantages, which in many cases make this product indispensable during medical procedures.

The first advantage is that the main element, the puncture needle, is made of the finest medical steel highest quality, which makes it possible to guarantee its maximum level of strength along with minimum thickness walls

The needle is only 1.9 cm long, which, together with the triple sharpening system, ensures its insertion under the skin into the veins with virtually no pain or injury.

The insertion and collection procedures are carried out through thin transparent connecting tubes made of polyvinyl chloride, which are highly resistant to various kinds of kinks.

What’s interesting is that the wings, from which the catheter received its original name, allow the catheter to be firmly and reliably fixed and avoid its spontaneous removal, which is very necessary and in demand in many cases.

The butterfly needle is a simple, highly effective and reliable peripheral catheter, which can be easily purchased in our online store at an affordable price.

The “Butterfly Needle” device is intended for insertion into peripheral small veins during intravenous infusion. Butterfly needles are especially relevant in pediatrics, intensive care units and veterinary medicine.

• short atraumatic needles with special sharpening ensure easy, safe penetration under the skin
• Flexible “wings” provide easy and effective fixation. The wings have color coding depending on the size of the injection needle. Butterfly needles are sized according to needle sizes.
• the infusion occurs through thin flexible connecting tubes, thanks to which the needle does not move inside the vein when manipulating the tube and, therefore, the risk is minimized mechanical damage vessel walls.
• Protective plug cap provides additional convenience during repeated infusions

What you need to know about catheters and butterflies?

About 10 years ago from medical instruments For administering medications, only syringes were known, and even then they were reusable. Today, scientific and technological progress has made it possible to evaluate the advantages of sterile disposable syringes, blood transfusion systems, droppers and catheters.

What is a catheter and why is it needed?

Catheters are intended for long-term infusion of medications. They are intravenous, intra-arterial, as well as for lymphatic vessels and hemodialysis. Each product is individually packaged and looks like a sophisticated, modernized needle. The top is made of transparent medical plastic, through which you can clearly see the catheter and needle itself.

How are catheters different from butterfly needles?

A “butterfly” is a needle that has additional adhesive wings that allow it to be fixed to the skin. But besides this there are a few more fundamental differences:

• When using a catheter, the catheter itself remains in the vessel, and when using butterflies, the needle remains.
• The hand in which the catheter is located can be safely moved and not worry about damaging the vein - such a device can remain in the vein for up to three days. While the slightest displacement of the skin or arm in which the butterfly is installed can injure the veins, that is why the time of use should not exceed 1 hour.
• “Butterflies” are used for short-term infusions and manipulations, and catheters for long-term ones. Scope of application The scope of catheters depends on its type:
• Intravenous catheters for peripheral veins are widely used in all surgical procedures and during childbirth.
• Products that are installed in central veins are more often used in cardiac surgery, intensive care, and oncology.
• Catheters for moving from peripheral to central veins are needed in neonatology, oncology and intensive care.
• Intra-arterial ones must clearly withstand blood pressure. Used in toxicology, vascular and cardiac surgery.

BUTTERFLY NEEDLE WITH CATHETER

General information. Children early age medicinal substances can be injected into the superficial veins of the head. During the procedure, the child is restrained. His head is held nurse-assistant, hands to the body and legs are fixed with a diaper (sheet). If there is hair at the site of the intended puncture, the hair is shaved off.

Indications: impossibility of intravenous administration of drugs into other peripheral and central veins.

Contraindications: damage to the scalp.

Injection sites: saphenous veins of the temporal and frontal areas of the skull.

Workplace equipment: 1) butterfly needle with a disposable catheter; 2) a bottle with a filled system for single-use intravenous drips, a stand; 3) ampoule (bottle) with 0.9% sodium chloride solution; 4) single-use syringe with a volume of 5 ml, injection needles; 5) sterile material (cotton balls, gauze triangles, napkins, diapers) in packages or boxes; 6) tray for sterile material; 7) tray for used material; 8) pins in packaging; 9) sterile tweezers; 10) tweezers in a disinfectant solution; 11) file, scissors; 12) a dispenser container with an antiseptic for treating the skin of patients and the hands of staff; 13) a container with a disinfectant solution for processing ampoules and other medicinal injection forms; 14) a patch (regular or Tegoderm type) or other fixing bandage; 15) medical gloves (single use); mask, goggles (plastic screen), waterproof, disinfected apron; 16) tweezers for working with used instruments; 17) containers with disinfectant for treating surfaces, washing used needles, syringes (systems), soaking used syringes (systems), needles, disinfecting cotton balls and gauze wipes, used rags; 18) clean rags; 19) tool table.

Preparatory stage of the manipulation: 1. Inform the patient (close relatives) about the need to perform and the essence of the procedure.

2. Obtain the consent of the patient (close relatives) to perform the procedure.

3. Wash your hands under running water, lathering twice. Dry your hands with a disposable napkin (individual towel). Treat your hands with an antiseptic. Wear an apron, gloves, and mask.

4. Treat the surface of the manipulation table, tray, apron, and system stand with a disinfectant solution. Wash your gloved hands under running water and soap, dry, and treat with an antiseptic.

5. Place the necessary equipment on the tool table.

6. Cover the sterile tray.

7. Print out the packages with the butterfly catheter and syringes and place them on a tray. Another option for working with sterile material when it is in packages.

8. Treat the ampoule (bottle) with sodium chloride solution 0.9%.

9. Draw 2 ml into the syringe connect to the catheter, fill it and place it on the tray.

10. Fix the child (performed by a nurse assistant). Place a sterile diaper next to the baby's head.

11. Wear safety glasses (plastic shield).

The main stage of performing the manipulation.12. Select a vessel for puncture and treat the injection site with two balls of antiseptic (one wide, the other narrow) in the direction from the parietal to the frontal region. For better blood supply to the vein, it is convenient to use a special elastic band placed around the head below the punctured area (above the eyebrows). Local digital compression of the vein is ineffective due to the abundance of venous anastomoses of the cranial vault. A baby's crying also causes the veins in the head to swell.

13. Treat gloved hands with an antiseptic.

14. Stretch the skin in the area of ​​the intended puncture to fix the vein.

15. Puncture the vein with a butterfly needle and catheter in three stages . To do this, direct the needle along the blood flow under acute angle to the surface of the skin and puncture it. Then advance the needle approximately 0.5 cm, pierce the vein and guide it along its course. If the needle is not in the vein, return it without removing it from under the skin and re-puncture the vein.

Inserting a needle into a vessel immediately after puncturing the skin may puncture both walls of the vessel.

16. Pull the plunger of the syringe connected to the catheter. The appearance of blood indicates the correct position of the needle. If an elastic band was used to increase blood flow to the vein, remove it.

17. Inject 1 - 1.5 ml sodium chloride solution 0.9%, to avoid thrombosis of the needle with a blood clot and eliminate the possibility of extravasal administration of the drug.

18. Secure the needle with three strips of adhesive tape: 1st - across the needle to the skin. 2nd - under the “wings” of the “butterfly” needle with a cross above them and fixation to the skin, 3rd - across the wings of the “butterfly” needle to the skin.

19. Roll the catheter into a ring and secure it with an adhesive tape on the scalp to prevent it from dislodging.

20. If necessary, if the angle of the needle relative to the curve of the skull is large, place a gauze (cotton) ball under the cannula of the needle.

21. Pull the plunger of the syringe connected to the catheter to re-check needle position in the vein.

22. Disconnect the syringe, connect the dropper to the solution stream.

23. Use the clamp to adjust the rate of administration of the medicinal substance.

24. Cover with sterile gauze pad the junction of the catheter cannulas and the dropper.

Features device for infusion into small veins with a “butterfly” needle:

• flexible additional tubes: the needle does not move inside the vein when manipulating the tube and, therefore, the risk of mechanical damage to the vascular wall is minimized;
• ease of needle insertion due to special sharpening of the needle;
• long additional tubes (30 cm): other procedures can be performed at a distance from the puncture site;
• flexible “wings” provide easier and more effective fixation;

BUTTERFLY NEEDLE FOR INFUSION INTO SMALL VEINS

Device for infusion into small veins with a “butterfly” needle for one-time use. The “butterfly” needle is so called because of the plastic wings that allow the device to be firmly fixed to the patient’s body.

The wings are painted in different colors according to the size and diameter of the needle, according to the international color code. The device is equipped with a needle with a special sharpening and silicone treatment, which makes penetration into tissue the least painful. Included in devices for infusion into small veins with butterfly needles A 30 cm long kink-resistant hose is included, allowing the procedure to be performed at a distance from the puncture site.

Peripheral catheter is a medical device designed and used for long-term (up to three days) administration of medications, liquids into venous vessels or removal of liquids from the circulatory system.

The catheter is inserted using a special hollow needle. This product is usually inserted into the arms, neck or head. In this case, various infusion systems are connected to the second end of the catheter.

Interestingly, such products are the best option when there is a need for intravenous administration of drugs for a long time.

What is a butterfly needle?

A butterfly catheter is a type of intravenous catheter. This is a sterile, single-use injection needle with locking wings that is great for short-term drug administration or blood collection.

The main purpose of the “butterfly”, for which it is best suited, is the introduction of medications and drugs into the peripheral small veins during infusion therapy. Also, a butterfly catheter, which you can buy on our website in the appropriate section, provides the opportunity to collect blood from so-called “problem patients.” At the same time, it is the latter reason that determines the high demand and relevance in the departments of intensive care, pediatrics and veterinary medicine.

As practice shows, peripheral veins located on the forearms or in the cubital fossae are most often used to carry out procedures for intravenous administration of drugs and solutions, as well as drawing blood using a butterfly needle.

Features of the butterfly needle

This catheter is characterized by a number of advantages and disadvantages, which in many cases make this product indispensable during medical procedures.

The first advantage is that the main element, the puncture needle, is made of the finest medical steel of the highest quality, which makes it possible to guarantee its maximum level of strength along with a minimum wall thickness.

The needle is only 1.9 cm long, which, together with the triple sharpening system, ensures its insertion under the skin into the veins with virtually no pain or injury.

The insertion and collection procedures are carried out through thin transparent connecting tubes made of polyvinyl chloride, which are highly resistant to various kinds of kinks.

What’s interesting is that the wings, from which the catheter received its original name, allow the catheter to be firmly and reliably fixed and avoid its spontaneous removal, which is very necessary and in demand in many cases.

The butterfly needle is a simple, highly effective and reliable peripheral catheter, buy which will not be difficult in our online store at an affordable price.
