Butterfly needles with built-in safety features continued

  • Two examples of butterfly needles with built-in safety devices are shown.
  • The Punctur-Guard™ (Bioplexus), shown above, uses an internal blunt needle which is activated after blood is drawn. The activated device showing the blunt internal needle is shown in the inset on the upper right.
  • The Angel Wing ™ (Monoject), is activated by sliding a safety shield over the needle after venipuncture.
