Vacutainer Butterfly Blood Collection Set + Holder 21G 3/4
The luer adapter is one of the components of the butterfly needle. Visually, it
resembles a
container for the collection, transportation and storage of biological materials. One
part of the
device is a "luer" type connector. With its help, the adapter is connected to the
catheter holder.
On the modern market, you can find two variations of a blood sampling device - with a
luer adapter
or a holder holder. Luer allows you to perform several manipulations at once – take
blood for
analysis, perform an intravenous injection, attach a needle to the system for infusion
of
solutions.

The second part of the device is a needle for piercing a vacuum tube. It is closed with
a tight
rubber cap, which prevents blood from splashing during extraction, transportation of the
sample.
All luer adapters are supplied in individual cases with an information label and
perforation for
visual inspection.
The strength of the butterfly needle is versatility. It is suitable for taking
biological fluid
from patients of any age category. It is used even to diagnose the blood of newborns or
older
babies, if the amount of blood received by the lancet from the heel is not enough.
Strong fixation
of the catheter greatly simplifies the task for both the patient and the doctor or
nurse. A medical
officer will be able to easily and accurately receive blood even from the most active
and
frightened patients. The advantages of the needle include minimal traumatization of
tissues.
Compared to conventional double-sided needles or vacuum tubes, the risk of nerve damage
by a
butterfly needle is significantly lower.
What are the disadvantages of a butterfly catheter? The first thing to pay attention to
is the size
of the needle. It is much smaller than a standard double-sided needle for blood
collection. This
increases the risk of cell damage. Platelets can simply stick together, and red blood
cells
collapse. To avoid this, the medical officer must choose the right needle size and
strictly follow
the rules for taking biological material. The disadvantages can also include the high
cost of
butterfly needles, a decrease in pressure and the "escape" of the vein during the
procedure.
