Scalp vein Set

A scalp vein set is a medical device used primarily in pediatric care and for some adult patients. It consists of a small plastic catheter attached to a flexible tube with a hub for connection to intravenous (IV) fluids or medications. The device is designed for ease of insertion into the superficial veins of the scalp, often utilized when other veins are difficult to access, especially in infants and young children.

Scalp vein sets are essential for administering fluids, medications, and nutrients, particularly in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. They offer a relatively painless and convenient method for healthcare providers to establish vascular access in delicate patients. These sets typically come in various sizes to accommodate different patient ages and clinical requirements. Sterility and precision in placement are paramount to ensure patient safety and effective treatment delivery.
