ClickZip™ Safety Butterfly Needle
How the butterfly syringe works
The ClickZip™ Safety Butterfly Needle has been specifically designed to be used exactly like a traditional butterfly needle.

The ClickZip™ Safety Butterfly Needle is a high-quality needle, free from latex and DEHP, and simple and safe to use.
