Medical Use Sterile 21G 22G 23G Disposable Single Wing Needle Types Of Scalp Vein Infusion Set
Scalp vein infusion sets are typically used for administering intravenous fluids or medications in pediatric patients. They are designed to be safe, easy to use, and comfortable for the patient. The components of a scalp vein infusion set may include a needle, tubing, a connector, and sometimes additional features like wings or safety mechanisms.
Feature:
1. Provide venous access and make patient comfort during long term infusion.
2. Butterfly wings can make better handling and attachment to skin.
3. Usually configured with a 30 cm tube, the drug is delivered slowly and the speed can be controlled.
4. The end of the sliding sleeve or luer connector is matched with different types of infusion sets.
5. Needle Sizes (Gauge):
- Gauge (G) is a measure of the diameter of a needle. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the needle diameter.
- 21G, 22G, and 23G needles are common sizes used in medical practice. These sizes are often suitable for various applications, including intravenous (IV) administration.
6. Single Wing Needle Design:
- The term "single wing" typically refers to a winged needle or butterfly needle. Butterfly needles are commonly used for venipuncture and intravenous access.
Directions for use: scalp vein set
The disposable intravenous infusion needle is mainly composed of a needle, a needle seat, and a flexible tube in sequence. The needle seat is provided with a needle handle, the needle sleeve is provided with a tubular sheath, and the sheath is a plastic tube with open ends. After use, it is convenient to re-set the sheath outside the needle to prevent the needle from being exposed.

What is a scalp vein set used for?
A scalp vein set, also known as a scalp vein infusion set, is a medical device designed for the administration of intravenous (IV) fluids or medications in pediatric patients, particularly infants and newborns. The scalp vein set is specifically designed for use on the scalp, as it can be challenging to find suitable veins for intravenous access in very small children.
The most common use of scalp vein set in plastic surgery is an infusion of saline in tissue expander [Figure 1]. It can be connected to a syringe to infuse saline without repetitive punctures to skin and port. Furthermore, it can be used to evacuate the fluid from the expander after removal from the body.
How long can a butterfly needle stay in?
1. Short-term Use: Butterfly needles are often used for short-term intravenous access, such as for administering a single dose of medication or a brief course of treatment. In many cases, they are not intended for long-term use.
2. Peripheral IV Access: Butterfly needles are commonly used for peripheral intravenous (IV) access, and they may stay in place for a few hours to a few days, depending on the specific medical situation.
3. Assessment and Monitoring: Healthcare providers regularly assess the need for intravenous access and monitor the patient for any signs of complications, such as infection or infiltration (when fluids leak into surrounding tissues).
4. Patient Condition: The patient's overall condition and the treatment plan influence how long the butterfly needle will be used. For example, in a hospital setting, healthcare providers may reassess the need for IV access daily.
5. Securement: Proper securement of the needle is crucial to prevent accidental dislodgment. Securement devices and dressings help keep the needle in place.
It's important to note that long-term use of a peripheral IV, including a butterfly needle, may increase the risk of complications such as infection or phlebitis (inflammation of the vein). In some cases, healthcare providers may consider alternative forms of vascular access, such as a central venous catheter, for extended treatments.
Ultimately, the decision on how long a butterfly needle can stay in place is made by the healthcare team based on the patient's needs and the treatment plan. Patients and their caregivers should communicate with healthcare providers about any concerns or changes in their condition related to intravenous access.
