Vaculet Blood Collection Sets

Vaculet blood collection sets from AirTite Products give phlebotomists and lab technicians a dependable winged option for routine venipuncture and difficult draws. The butterfly design — with its short needle and flexible tubing — makes it easier to access small, fragile, or rolling veins, which is why these sets are a common choice for pediatric, geriatric, and hand-vein collections where a straight needle would be awkward or uncomfortable.

The set we carry, AirTite Vaculet Blood Collection Set (26766), uses a 23-gauge conventional needle with a 3/4-inch length and 12 inches of tubing. The light blue hub follows the standard color convention that identifies 23-gauge at a glance during a busy draw. Each set is sterile and individually packaged, ready for single-patient use. This is a conventional, non-safety set — a factor worth confirming against your facility's sharps-safety policy before ordering, since many clinical settings require engineered safety devices for staff protection.

The 23-gauge size strikes a practical balance: fine enough to be gentler on delicate veins and reduce the risk of collapse, yet wide enough to maintain acceptable flow into evacuated tubes without excessive hemolysis. The winged grip gives you steady thumb-and-finger control as you insert at a shallow angle, and the 12-inch tubing lets you position tube holders and multiple draws without disturbing needle placement.

Vaculet sets are compatible with standard evacuated tube systems, making them a straightforward addition to any draw station stocked for varied patient needs. For related supplies, browse our full Blood Collection category to pair these sets with tubes, holders, and tourniquets.
