About Blood
The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.
About Butterfly Needle
A butterfly needle is a short needle with a small diameter that is attached to a thin, flexible tube. The needle is surrounded by two rubber wings that allow the phlebotomist to grip and move the needle easily. The tube is attached to a rubber boot that attaches to the blood collection tube. The butterfly needle is also known as a scalp vein needle and they are the most practical and the most commonly used IV needles for infants.
