Safety Butterfly Needles For Blood Draw: Uses & Buying Guide
What is a “Butterfly Needle”?
The “butterfly needle” or VACUETTE® Safety Blood Collection Set is a blood collection device commonly used in hospitals and clinics to collect blood from patients safely and effectively for laboratory testing.
This type of device is often referred to as a “butterfly needle” because of its design, which includes a ‘wing’ on each side of the body.
