Due to supply restraints, we are unable to purchase our full allotment of BD Butterfly Needles. We are currently only able to purchase 25% of our normal supply of BD Butterfly Needles. We will need to increase utilization of our straight needles to conserve inventory of butterfly needles.
There are multiple benefits to using straight needles vs butterfly needles including but not limited to:
- Less Hemolysis – increases patient satisfaction
- Conserve inventory of butterfly needles – increases patient and staff satisfaction
- Quicker draws
