Butterfly Needle Infusion Set, 12 in. Tubing

When the Job Is One Injection, Not an Indwelling Line

Not every IV access need calls for a catheter meant to stay in for hours or days – a single medication push, a short diagnostic infusion, or a one-time blood draw often only needs a butterfly-style set that goes in, does its job, and comes out. That avoids the extra time and cost of placing and later removing an indwelling catheter for something that didn't need one. Twelve inches of tubing gives enough working distance from the injection site to handle the syringe or line comfortably without crowding the patient, and the safety mechanism shields the needle immediately on withdrawal. It's also a common item in IV insertion practice sessions, since the technique for placing a winged set overlaps closely with catheter placement fundamentals.
