Key Features:

1. Gauge Size: 23G (0.6mm) – Ideal for delicate veins (e.g., pediatric, elderly, or oncology patients).

2. Needle Type: Ultra-thin, sharp bevelled needle for minimal trauma and pain during insertion.

3. Wings (Butterfly Design):

5. Flexible Tubing:

   • Short, transparent tubing (typically 12–30 cm) for easy blood flow monitoring.

   • May include a safety clamp to control fluid flow.

6. Safety Versions Available:

   • Some models feature retractable needles or needle shields to prevent accidental needlestick injuries.

7. Sterile & Single-Use:

Applications:

• Blood draws (phlebotomy) for lab testing.

• IV infusions in patients with difficult venous access.
