Best price from 2.15 rub. per piece
Butterfly needle (infusion cannula)- intended for administering medications into peripheral small veins during intravenous infusions, or taking blood for analysis - especially in patients in an unstable condition (neurosis, intoxication, excitability, epilepsy, etc.), as well as infants and young children. The butterfly catheter is very often used in veterinary medicine.
Technical characteristics of butterfly catheter needle
Needle catheter butterfly- is a flexible, thin transparent tube made of medical grade polyvinyl chloride, 300 mm long, which allows manipulations to be carried out away from the venipuncture site, reducing the risk of needle displacement and accidental damage to the vein. At one end of the butterfly catheter there is a Luer or Luer-Lock connection with a protective cap (for convenience during repeated infusions, it allows choice depending on the medical procedure being performed), at the other end of the tube there is a catheter (thin-walled steel needle made of medical steel with triangular sharpening for easy insertion into a vein with a protective cap).
The applied butterfly needle size range: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27 allows their use depending on the diameter of the vein and the viscosity of the injected solution. Catheter intravenous butterfly has flexible “wings” made of lightly colored polyethylene with color coding according to the ISO standard depending on the size of the needle, allowing you to easily and quickly select the desired perfusion device in accordance with the size of the needle, which ensure easy and effective fixation of the device on the surface of the skin.

Butterfly needle with flexible catheter and luer adapterallows you to take blood from “problem” patients. Particularly relevant in pediatrics, psychoneurology, intensive care units and veterinary medicine.
A clinical blood test is one of the list of standard procedures for the prevention or treatment of patients. It allows you to estimate the amount of hemoglobin, red blood cells, leukocytes, platelets, and identify the color indicator. Blood is collected in only two ways - from the ring finger or from a vein. A needle or butterfly catheter is used to collect venous blood. What you need to know about medical instruments, what are its varieties and how to use a butterfly needle correctly?
What you need to know about the needle butterfly?
A butterfly needle is a standard medical needle that has a catheter attached to it. In practice, only two types of needles are used - hollow and surgical. "Butterfly" belongs to the first category. It can be used to perform injections, collect/transfer samples and biological samples. Most often, the needle is used to collect venous blood in children and patients with thin veins. The tubes are made of austenitic stainless steel of one of the types specified in the relevant government documentation.
The production of medical instruments is strictly regulated by the state to ensure maximum safety and quality. The needles themselves are used in pediatrics, some intensive care units, veterinary medicine and gerontology (the science of aging of all living organisms).
Catheter – medical instrument in the form of a tube, through which the vessels are connected to external environment for subsequent emptying. A soft catheter is attached to the butterfly needle. It is made of plastic materials such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride or rubber. For the “butterfly”, vascular catheters with a venous cannula are used. Cannula is a hollow soft tube that is inserted into the internal cavity human body. The catheter facilitates not only blood sampling, but also the introduction of drugs into the bloodstream or detoxification.
Absolutely all catheters require additional fixation. They are attached to the skin with patches, suture material or special fasteners. The cannula is equipped flexible clamp(made from lightly colored polyethylene), which visually resembles butterfly wings. Because of this similarity, the instrument got its name. The color of the retainer is not chosen for ethical reasons, but to indicate the size of the needle. Size range of needles: 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27. Each number is assigned a specific shade of the palette, which helps doctors and nurses quickly navigate the instruments. To avoid confusion, the needle size is marked on the wings of the fixator and is additionally indicated on the sterile individual packaging.
What is a luer adapter?
The luer adapter is one of the components of the butterfly needle. Visually, it resembles a container for collecting, transporting and storing biological materials. One part of the device is a luer connector. With its help, the adapter is connected to the catheter holder. On modern market You can find two variations of the device for collecting blood - with a luer adapter or a holder holder. Luer allows you to perform several manipulations at once - take blood for analysis, conduct intravenous injection, attach the needle to the solution infusion system.
The second part of the device is a needle for piercing a vacuum tube. It is closed with a dense rubber cap, which prevents blood from splashing when removing or transporting the sample. All luer adapters are supplied in individual cases with an information label and perforations for visual inspection.
Advantages and disadvantages of medical instruments
The strength of the butterfly needle is its versatility. It is suitable for collecting biological fluid from patients of any age category. It is even used to diagnose the blood of newborns or babies who are on breastfeeding, if the amount of blood obtained from the heel with a lancet is not enough. Strong fixation of the catheter greatly simplifies the task for both the patient and the doctor or nurse. A medical professional will be able to easily and accurately obtain blood from even the most active and frightened clients. The advantages of the needle include minimal tissue trauma. Compared to conventional double-ended needles or vacuum tubes, the risk of nerve damage with a butterfly needle is significantly lower.
What are the disadvantages of a butterfly catheter? The first thing you should pay attention to is the size of the needle. It is much smaller than a standard double-ended blood collection needle. This increases the risk of cell damage. Platelets can simply stick together, and red blood cells can be destroyed, releasing into environment hemoglobin. To avoid this, the medical professional must select the correct needle size and strictly follow the rules for collecting biological material. Disadvantages can also include high cost butterfly needles, decreased pressure and “escaping” of the vein during the procedure.
Another disadvantage is the relatively slow blood flow. The smaller the needle is in the vein, the faster the body can recover and recover from stress (even minimal). When drawing blood with a butterfly needle, the liquid passes through the cannula quite slowly, which increases the time the needle remains in the vessel. As a result, a larger volume of blood may be required to fill the entire catheter tube, including the dead space. Some nurses use an empty vacuum tube to fill the "dead space" and then discard it.
If the amount of biological fluid obtained is still not enough, the medical professional performs a second venipuncture. He pierces the wall of the venous vessel again, inserts a needle and draws blood a second time.
Peripheral catheter is a medical device designed and used for long-term (up to three days) injection medicines, fluids into the venous vessels or removal of fluids 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?
The butterfly catheter is a type intravenous catheters. 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, most often to carry out procedures for intravenous administration medications and solutions, as well as drawing blood using a butterfly needle, use peripheral veins located in the forearms or cubital fossae.
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, buy which will not be difficult in our online store at an affordable price.
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.
