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. However, the VACUETTE® version of a butterfly needle, or VACUETTE® Safety Blood Collection Set, has additional features that make it one of the safest blood collection devices on the market.
