How long should a subcutaneous butterfly needle stay in?
Subcutaneous butterfly needles are typically left in place for several days to weeks or until treatment or medication is discontinued. This duration can vary depending on the specific use and medical instructions prescribed for the individual; consult a healthcare professional for tailored guidance related to your situation. They are not suitable for long-term usage. Additionally, if any signs of complications occur like redness, swelling, leakage, or pain at the insertion site, prompt medical attention should be sought promptly.
