Winged Infusion sets (sometimes known as scalp vein sets or butterfly needle sets) are used to access superficial veins. The reason they are called winged or butterfly needle sets is because of the shape of the “wings” used to hold the needle to puncture the vein. As opposed to a regular needle (used in one hand), a winged set needs both hands to hold it during insertion.
