Medical Sterile Scalp Vein Set – Butterfly Needle for Pediatric and Neonatal Use

Description

The Medical Sterile Scalp Vein Set is a crucial medical device designed to provide safe and effective access to veins for IV fluid delivery, medication administration, or blood collection, particularly in pediatric and neonatal patients.

This device is especially beneficial in cases where veins in other parts of the body are difficult to access, such as in infants, newborns, or small children. The set is commonly referred to as a butterfly needle or scalp vein catheter due to its unique design and application.

Product Overview

 

The scalp vein set consists of a protective cap, short needle, wing hub, and a flexible tube for easy infusion or blood withdrawal. This design allows healthcare providers to perform procedures with a high level of accuracy and safety. It is typically used for temporary access to veins and is most effective when a short-term IV or blood draw is needed. The short needle reduces the risk of causing damage to surrounding tissue, while the wings on the hub make handling easier, providing better control during use.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Designed for Small Veins: The scalp vein set is ideal for accessing superficial veins, particularly in infants and young children, where it is difficult to use regular venous access devices.
2. Sterility and Safety: The set is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas to ensure safety and prevent infections. It is also latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients.
3. Winged Hub Design: The winged hub provides a stable grip, making it easier for medical professionals to secure the needle in place during fluid infusion or blood withdrawal. This design also allows for more precise needle placement, minimizing discomfort for the patient.
4. Comfortable and Low Trauma: The short, fine needle minimizes trauma to the skin and underlying tissue, providing a more comfortable experience for infants and small children.
5. Convenient and Efficient: The thin flexible tube connected to the needle allows easy administration of fluids or drawing of blood samples without unnecessary movement, reducing the time spent on each procedure and increasing efficiency.
6. Temporary Use: The scalp vein set is intended for temporary use, making it an ideal solution for short-term medical procedures, particularly in critical care, emergency situations, or neonatal care.
7. Multiple Sizes Available: The set is available in a range of needle gauges to accommodate different patient needs, from the smallest infants to larger pediatric patients.

Applications

• Intravenous (IV) Fluid Infusion: Used for administering fluids to maintain hydration and support critical care.
• Medication Administration: Enables safe delivery of medications, such as antibiotics, pain relief, or other treatments, through the vein.
• Blood Collection: Facilitates blood draws for diagnostic testing, ensuring minimal discomfort and quick access to blood vessels.
• Emergency Use: In emergency care, especially when immediate access to veins is required in pediatric patients.

How to Use the Scalp Vein Set

1. Prepare the Site: Clean and disinfect the area where the needle will be inserted.
2. Apply Tourniquet: Gently apply a tourniquet above the selected vein to help make the vein more visible and easier to puncture.
3. Insert Needle: Gently insert the needle into the vein, ensuring correct placement by observing blood return.
4. Secure the Needle: Once in place, use the wings to secure the needle to the skin.
5. Infuse Fluids or Draw Blood: Attach the appropriate IV line or collection tube to the other end of the device for infusion or blood collection.
6. Remove and Dispose: After the procedure, safely remove the needle and dispose of it in a proper sharps container.

Packaging and Shipping

• Packaging: Each scalp vein set is individually packaged in a sterile blister pack to ensure safety and cleanliness.
• Shipping: Fast and reliable shipping with a range of shipping methods available, including air and sea freight. Typically ships from Qingdao or Shanghai, China.

The Medical Sterile Scalp Vein Set is an essential tool for providing quick and effective venous access in pediatric and neonatal patients. Its easy handling, sterile packaging, and safe design make it an invaluable resource in hospitals, clinics, and emergency care settings. Whether you’re administering IV fluids, delivering medications, or collecting blood samples, the scalp vein set ensures minimal trauma, maximum comfort, and efficient procedures.
