Butterfly Needle - 23G 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 stick.

Why 23 Gauge and a Safety Shield

A 23G bore moves blood at a steady rate for routine panels while staying comfortable on superficial veins close to the skin's surface. The 12-inch tubing gives you slack to swap collection tubes mid-draw.

Once the draw ends, slide the shield forward over the needle. That single motion is what protects you from a needlestick before disposal.
