Frequently asked questions
What gauge needle is used for blood collection?
23G is one of the most commonly used gauges for routine blood collection. It balances patient comfort with reliable blood flow,
making it suitable for most adult venepuncture procedures in GP surgeries, hospitals, and diagnostic labs.
Are these needles suitable for NHS use?
Yes. Senmed 23G blood collection needles are CE marked and EO gas sterilised, meeting the compliance requirements for use in NHS and regulated private clinical settings.
How many needles are in a box?
Each box contains 100 individually packed, sterile, single-use 23G blood collection needles.
What is the difference between a blood collection needle and a butterfly needle?
A standard blood collection needle is a straight needle used directly with a vacuum tube holder for high-volume draws.
A butterfly (winged infusion) needle has flexible tubing and wings for grip, and is typically used for difficult veins or paediatric patients.
For routine adult venepuncture, a straight 23G blood collection needle is the standard choice.
