Scalp Vein Set

The Scalp Vein Set is a medical device designed to provide quick and easy venous access, especially in cases requiring short-term or repeated infusion. It is specifically engineered to enhance patient comfort. The set features a short, beveled silicone needle that facilitates atraumatic cannulation with minimal tissue damage. A thin-walled needle with indicator hub is used to ensure high flow rates.

The butterfly-shaped wings of the scalp vein set enable secure placement on the skin, preventing accidental displacement and reducing the risk of snagging during use.

Venous Access Using a Scalp Vein Set

Scalp vein sets are supplied in sterile, single-use packaging. The stainless steel needle measures approximately 1.5–3 cm, with sizes ranging from 17G to 25G. The larger the gauge number, the smaller the needle diameter.

The set includes flexible wings for stabilization, a 10–30 cm kink-resistant tube, and a capped connector for attachment to a syringe or IV line. Smaller gauge scalp vein sets are suitable for thin veins or pediatric patients. The short needle length minimizes discomfort and tissue trauma, although the rigid needle makes the set unsuitable for long-term IV access.

Required Supplies:

1. Tourniquet

2. Antiseptic solution (e.g., alcohol or povidone-iodine)

3. Cotton or gauze pads

4. Adhesive tape

5. 5–10 ml sterile syringe prefilled with saline

Scalp Vein Set Insertion Technique

1. Explain the procedure and obtain informed consent from the patient or caregiver

2. Wash hands thoroughly and wear sterile gloves

3. Disinfect the puncture site

4. Position the limb below heart level for optimal venous access

5. Identify and assess the appropriate vein

6. Select and open the correct size scalp vein set

7. Remove the cap and connect a saline-filled syringe to the hub

8. Prime the set by slowly flushing saline until it emerges from the needle tip

9. The protective cap does not need to be removed during priming

10. Insert the needle into the vein and inject saline slowly

11. Observe for signs of pain, redness, swelling, or discomfort

12. Disconnect the syringe, close the connector cap, and dispose of gloves in a medical waste bin

13. Wash hands and document the insertion time and date in the appropriate patient form
