scalp vein set
A scalp vein set is an essential medical device designed for precise and reliable intravenous access through the small blood vessels of the scalp. This specialized equipment consists of a butterfly needle with flexible wings, transparent tubing, and a luer lock connector, making it particularly suitable for pediatric patients and those with difficult venous access. The set features a ultra-thin walled needle that ensures minimal trauma during insertion while maintaining optimal flow rates. The butterfly wings provide stable grip and control during insertion, while also serving as secure anchoring points once the needle is placed. The transparent tubing allows for immediate visualization of blood flashback, confirming proper venous placement. Modern scalp vein sets incorporate safety mechanisms to prevent needlestick injuries and are available in various gauge sizes to accommodate different patient needs. The sets are typically color-coded for easy gauge identification and feature precise manufacturing standards to ensure consistent quality and performance. These devices are particularly valuable in neonatal care, pediatric treatment, and emergency medicine where conventional venous access may be challenging.
