Discover why our 21G and 23G butterfly needles are trusted across the NHS and private clinics for safe, smooth, and comfortable blood draws.
🦋 Why We Love Our 21G & 23G Butterfly Needles — And Why You Will Too
At Charles Medical, we know how important it is to have the right tools — not just for the person drawing blood, but for the patient on the other end of the needle. That’s why we’re genuinely proud of our 21G and 23G butterfly needles. They’re used every day in clinics across the UK — including NHS settings — and they’ve earned a great reputation for being smooth, safe, and surprisingly comfortable.
Built for Comfort and Confidence
Whether you're working in a hospital, clinic, aesthetic practice or offering mobile services, these butterfly needles are a solid choice. The 21G is ideal for standard venepuncture, while the 23G is slightly finer — perfect for patients with smaller or more fragile veins. Both are incredibly easy to use and allow for gentle, precise access without fuss or discomfort.
We’ve had so much positive feedback from professionals who say how well they handle, and from patients who barely notice the insertion at all. That kind of trust goes a long way in clinical work.
Designed with Safety in Mind
One of the key features of our butterfly needles is the built-in safety shield. It activates immediately after use to protect against accidental needlestick injuries — something that’s absolutely essential in today’s healthcare environments.
They also come with vacuum holders, making the entire blood draw process cleaner, faster, and more efficient — especially in busy practices.
Used Across the UK — Including the NHS
It’s not just private clinics using our needles. They’re supplied to GP surgeries, NHS Trusts, hospitals, fertility centres, phlebotomy teams, and many more. We’ve seen them used in everything from routine blood tests to specialised treatment settings, and they hold up every time.
Quality You Can Trust, Prices That Make Sense
At Charles Medical, we’re committed to keeping things simple. No inflated prices, no over-complicated packaging — just quality products that we know work, offered at prices that make sense. We believe in passing our savings on to our customers, and our butterfly needles are a perfect example of that ethos.
