>> Purpose
A. Blood Collection
Difficult venipuncture (small, fragile, or rolling veins).
Pediatric patients (less painful than standard needles).
Hand or wrist veins (where straight needles are harder to use).
Frequent blood sampling (e.g., ICU, oncology patients).
B. Short-Term IV Therapy
Medication administration (e.g., antibiotics, pain relief).
Contrast dye injection (for imaging studies).
Hydration therapy (short-term fluid infusion).
C. Specialized Uses
Geriatric patients (thin, delicate veins).
Chemotherapy patients (veins weakened by treatment).

>> FAQ
Q1. Is a butterfly needle less painful than a regular needle?
A: Yes, a butterfly needle is often less painful because it is smaller in gauge (thinner) and shorter in length. It is designed for delicate veins, making it more comfortable for patients, especially children and the elderly.
Q2. What gauges are available for butterfly needles?
A: Butterfly needles are available in smaller gauges, such as 21G, 23G, and 25G. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the needle. For example, a 25G needle is thinner than a 21G needle and is often used for very small veins.
