Advantages of Butterfly Needles over Straight Needles Drive North America Butterfly Needles Market Growth

Butterfly needles are widely preferred over straight needles as they are highly flexible during angled insertion, less painful, and highly accurate. Also, the phlebotomist may have a close grip on the needle and precision while placing it in the vein due to their bilateral wings and a short length. Butterfly needles can be efficiently used on people with small or rolling veins and are also effective for the tiny veins of body parts such as the hand, foot, scalp, and heel. Over the years, newer models of butterfly needles have been launched into the market, providing various advantages over the other types of needles. The latest models of butterfly needles have a slide-and-lock sheath that automatically slides over the needle as it is extracted from a vein. This prevents needlestick injuries and the reuse of a used needle. VACUETTE EVOPROTECT butterfly needles developed by Greiner Group AG are equipped with mechanisms that provide semi-automatic retraction of the needle from the vein, which minimizes the risk of needlestick injury. Furthermore, the company reported that the semi-automatic safety feature is more effective at preventing NSIs than devices with manually activated mechanisms. Devices with semi-automatic safety features also resulted in lower needlestick injuries than manually activated mechanism devices. Thus, the advantages of butterfly needles over other types of needles are fueling the growth of the North America butterfly needles market .
