Product Description

A blood collection set with luer adapter (also known as a multisample needle with luer adapter or butterfly needle set) is a sterile, single-use medical device used for phlebotomy, especially for patients with delicate or small veins. The 23G x 3/4" needle is color-coded light blue and is packaged in a box of 100 units. Key Features and Specifications The device typically includes a winged needle, flexible tubing, and a luer adapter for attaching to an evacuated tube holder (holder may be sold separately). Needle Gauge: 23 Gauge (G), which has a small diameter suitable for patients with fragile or thin veins, such as infants, young children, or some adults. The color code for 23G is typically light blue. Needle Length: 3/4 inch (0.75"). Tubing Length: Typically 12 inches (some variations might have 7 inches), providing flexibility and ease of manipulation during the procedure.Adapter: Features a luer adapter (or multi-sample luer adapter) which allows for the collection of multiple blood samples with a single venipuncture by facilitating secure connection to various vacuum blood collection tubes. Safety Mechanism: Many modern sets include a safety feature (e.g., a sliding shield or push-button retraction) that can be activated immediately after use to cover the exposed needle and help prevent accidental needlestick injuries. Material: Made from high-quality, siliconized stainless steel cannula and is typically latex-free and DEHP-free, ensuring safe use for patients and practitioners with allergies. Sterility and Packaging: The product is sterile (sterilized by ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation), non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic. Each set is typically packaged individually in a sterile pack (e.g., foil-and-paper blister pack), and the box contains 100 pieces.
