Lab Animal Winged Infusion Sets

admin — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 15:41:10 +0000

These specialty needles (often called Winged Infusion Sets) offer a highly effective means of accessing a peripheral blood vessel for infusion or sampling in small and large animals. When compared to traditional straight needles, butterfly needles are often shorter, include wings on both sides of the needle for stability and have tubing attached to the end for easy connection to syringes or collection devices. Make small blood collection even easier with our large selection of blood collection vials.

Wings provide added grip and accuracy when handling the needle
Wide variety of needle sizes and tubing lengths and can be customized
Often used for rodent tail vein infusion or in the cepahalic or saphenous veins in larger species
Biocompatible and resistant to organic vehicles
Connect to standard syringes or any other luered fitting
