Venous butterfly needles are small, winged, hollow needles designed for quick and precise access to veins. Clinically, they’re used to draw blood samples or deliver short-term intravenous treatments like fluids or medications, often in settings where traditional IV catheters are impractical.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as invasive medical tools, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards. They’re commonly supplied as part of a set, including tubing or connectors, and may vary by size or vein compatibility, but never include accessories like stylets.
