Description:
This 25G single-use butterfly catheter (10 pack) with a 0.5x19mm needle is designed for effortless intravenous access in challenging situations. Its small diameter and flexible design make it ideal for:
- Pediatric and Neonatal Care: Gentle and precise administration of medication and blood draws in infants and young children with delicate veins.
- Patients in Unstable Conditions: Reliable access for medication delivery and blood sampling in patients experiencing seizures, intoxication (alcohol or drug-related), neurosis, or heightened agitation.
- Veterinary Applications: Ideal for administering medication and collecting blood samples from animals with small, difficult-to-access veins.
This butterfly catheter features a 300mm flexible, transparent PVC cannula, allowing for comfortable manipulation away from the venipuncture site, minimizing needle displacement and vein damage. It includes a Luer or Luer-Lock connector with a protective cap, offering versatility for various medical procedures. The catheter itself is a thin-walled, stainless steel needle with a three-bevel point for easy venous access and a protective cap.
Choosing the Right Butterfly Catheter:
Selecting the appropriate gauge depends on several factors:
- Solution Viscosity: Thicker solutions (e.g., oil-based) require larger gauge needles (25G or larger). More fluid solutions allow for smaller gauges (24G, 25G, or 27G).
- Injection Volume: Smaller gauge needles may result in slower infusion rates, extending procedure times. Finding the optimal balance between flow rate and needle size is crucial.
- Patient Age: Recommended gauges vary by age: 27G (0.7mm) or 25G (0.5mm) for infants (1-3 years), and 21G or 23G for adults. Larger gauges are used when faster infusion rates are needed.
This 25G butterfly catheter provides a reliable solution for delicate intravenous procedures across various medical and veterinary applications. Its convenient features and optimized design ensure efficient and comfortable administration.
