Butterfly needles

These products are primarily for use in paediatrics and for patients with difficult vein conditions.

• Officially certified for blood collection or short-term infusions (CE-certification).
• Compact and therefore space-saving.

The Luer Adapter is already added to the butterfly needle. Therefore the holder can immediately be screwed on without having to assemble the adapter first. In many cases this can save valuable time. Is often used in difficult procedures as well as in paediatrics.

The Vacuette^® Safety winged set is a sterile single-use blood collection set with plastic wings. The set consists of a stainless steel cannula, colour-coded transparant wings according to needle size, a flexible tube, the Luer adapter or holder and a plastic safety housing. Each product is provided with a safety mechanism to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries. When blood collection is complete, the needle is carefully withdrawn from the patient’s vein and the safety mechanism is activated immediately afterwards.

• The Vacuette^® Safety winged set is the ideal starter product when it comes to minimizing needlestick injuries.
• The audible click indicates that the needle is securely and irreversibly locked in the protective plastic housing.
• Flexible wings promise good grip on the patient’s skin and a comfortable puncture.
• The transparant design of the product ensures a good visualization of the blood flow.
• The needle is thinwalled and beneficial for blood flow.
• Made without latex and DEHP.
• Non-pyrogenic.

• The Vacuette^® Safety butterfly needle without holder is suitable for short-term infusion of intravenous fluids.

The Premium Safety butterfly needle can be distinguished from the regular butterfly needles by its ergonomically built-in safety mechanism which is visible through the “plastic cover” situated on the extension between the wings and the tube. It is also different from the “normal” safety butterfly needle because of the radical difference in safety mechanism.

The Premium needle is activated inside the patient’s vein.
By gently squeezing the boss between the thumb and the index finger and by pulling the needle back, it is shoved in the cover and irreversibly locked. This excludes needlestick injuries immediately after blood collection!

• Helps to minimize the risk of a needlestick injury.
• Greater safety: due to the activation inside the vein no extra action is required, this avoids needlestick injuries.
• Ergonomic system: the needle disappears IN the cover during activation, the hub doesn’t shove over the needle (activates when the needle is inside the vein) and provides more comfort for the patient.
• Less actions than with a non-premium safety mechanism.
• Flexible tube, provides greater freedom of movement during blood collection.
• ISO colour-coded wings which indicate the needle size.
• Transparent design for optimal visualisation of blood flow.
• Flexible wings for a good grip on the patient’s skin and a convenient puncture.
• Thin-walled needle: advantageous for the blood flow.
• Once the safety mechanism has been activated, the needle is securely and irreversibly locked in the plastic safety housing.
• A safety engineered device according to the recommendations of the ‘’Interpretation Guidance for the Council Directive 2010/32/EU’’ for the prevention of sharp injuries.

The Vacuette^® Premium Safety butterfly needle set with luer adapter is a sterile winged needle intended for single use connected to flexible tubing with a luer adapter. The winged needle has a safety mechanism which is activated after blood collection while the needle is still in the vein, thereby providing protection against needlestick injuries. With the flash chamber it is possible to see blood flow indicating successful venipuncture.

• Sterile and pre-assembled for ease of use.
• For blood collection in haemoculture bottles, as well as with the Vacuette^® blood collection tubes.

Vacuette^®EVOPROTECT is the next stage in blood collection. The semi-automatic click mechanism protects the user from the risk of needlestick injuries and makes the daily task of blood collection easier.

• Ergonomically designed.
• Winged needle for one-handed use.
• Greater safety: due to the activation of the safety mechanism inside the vein no extra action is required, this avoids needlestick injuries.
• Thin-walled needle: advantageous for the blood flow.
• The coloured wings indicate the relevant needle gauge.
