Butterfly Catheter Infusion Sets
These Butterfly Infusion Sets consist of a stainless steel needle with butterfly wings, a length of tubing and an adapter. This adapter fits any standard IV, blood set or syringe and contains a flange to accept secure lock.
- Firm needle control for better positioning
- Small Animal Butterfly sets have the smallest butterfly needle, with outside diameters ranging from 25 to 27 gauge
- Standard Butterfly sets are available with three different needle diameters and have a 30.5 cm (12 in) length of tubing
- Intermittent Butterfly sets are for intermittent procedures. The adapter terminates in a resealing injection site which allows injection or blood sampling

These Butterfly Catheters make veni-puncture easier with automatic alignment of the needle in bevel-up position, eliminating needle roll during insertion. After venipuncture the wings spread flat to provide a firm anchor for taping. Since there is no bulky needle hub to tape down, there is less chance for pressure irritation to develop.
The short needle shaft, ultra-flexible tubing, and firm anchorage minimize the possibility of needle movement within the vein.
The needle has thin walls and is double bevel ground. The open-end needle guard permits priming with the guard in place so the needle can remain covered until the moment of use. A transparent cap covering the adapter keeps it sterile after the package is opened.
Harvard Apparatus offers three different Butterfly Catheter Infusion Sets. For easy recognition the adapter is color-coded according to the gauge size. Supplied in quantities noted.
