This disposable scalp vein set, often called a butterfly needle, pairs a short stainless steel needle with flexible PVC wings and fine PVC tubing ending in a Luer fitting. The wings give a firm grip during venipuncture and lie flat for taping, which is why the scalp vein set is a standard item for small veins, children and short procedures.

Buyer questions, answered

Clear answers for preparing a comparable sourcing request for Disposable Sterile Scalp Vein Set.

Scalp vein set vs butterfly needle: are they the same?

Yes. Scalp vein set, butterfly needle and winged infusion set are names for the same device: a short needle with plastic wings and a length of tubing ending in a Luer fitting. The name scalp vein comes from its early use on infants' scalp veins.

What are the uses of a scalp vein set?

It is used for short-term IV infusion and injection and for blood collection, especially where veins are small, fragile or hard to access, such as in children and elderly patients.

Which scalp vein set size is used for pediatric patients?

Finer gauges (higher gauge numbers) are generally chosen for children and small or fragile veins, and wider gauges for adults and faster flow. The final choice is a clinical decision; our range covers 18G to 27G, so list the gauges your wards use when you request a quote.

What connector does the scalp vein set use?

The tubing ends in a Luer fitting for connection to a syringe or infusion line. State whether you need a Luer Slip or Luer Lock fitting in your request, and we will confirm it on the specification sheet.
