Frequently Asked Questions

What is a butterfly needle?

A butterfly needle - also known as a winged infusion set - is a thin, flexible needle with plastic 'wings' on either side. It’s commonly used for drawing blood or administering medications, especially in patients with small or delicate veins.

What size is a butterfly needle?

▼

Butterfly needles come in various lengths, usually between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. The tubing attached is typically around 7 to 12 inches long, allowing for flexibility during use.

What gauge is a butterfly needle?

▼

Our butterfly needles are available in multiple gauges, with 23G blue and 25G orange being the most common. The lower the gauge number, the larger the needle diameter.

Why do people prefer butterfly needles?

People often prefer butterfly needles because they tend to be more comfortable, especially for frequent blood draws or smaller veins. The design allows for greater precision, reduces the risk of vein movement, and is generally easier for healthcare professionals to handle.
