A shorter bevel angle and winged grip make this a practical choice for veins that roll, sit shallow, or belong to a patient too small for a straight venipuncture needle – a cat's cephalic vein or a small dog's jugular, for instance. The safety mechanism shields the needle immediately after the draw, and the 12-inch tubing gives enough length to fill a tube or syringe without repositioning the patient.
Built for the Veins That Don't Sit Still or Sit Deep
Butterfly blood collection sets exist because not every vein tolerates a rigid needle held at a steep angle – smaller, shallower, or more mobile veins often draw more reliably with the lower insertion angle and stabilizing wings this style provides. That comes up often in feline and small canine venipuncture, though it's not limited to those cases whenever a vein calls for a gentler approach.
Twelve inches of tubing is enough to connect to a syringe or evacuated tube without needing the patient positioned directly next to the collection point, which matters when restraint is already the harder part of the draw. The safety shield activates right after collection, reducing needlestick risk during the immediate disposal step.
