Description
The Terumo Surshield Safety Winged Infusion Set takes the familiar butterfly set and adds a hinged shield that snaps over the needle as it leaves the vein. No change in insertion technique is required, which is exactly what a safety feature should promise busy clinicians. Infusion rooms, emergency departments and home infusion nurses all work with winged sets daily, and each withdrawal is a moment this shield was designed for.
- Snap-On Needle Protection – The shield flips over the needle right after withdrawal and locks, covering the point before the set is carried anywhere.
- Simple One-Handed Activation – Minimal steps and a single-handed motion keep activation realistic at the end of a procedure.
- Soft Interlocking Wings – Flexible wings conform to the skin and grip together for controlled insertion, the handling staff already know.
- Audible Lock Confirmation – A click tells the clinician the needle is securely locked inside the shield.
Winged Infusion Sets with Built-In Sharps Protection
Surshield is Terumo's sharps protection system for its winged sets, built around a simple idea: cover the needle immediately, with the hand already holding the wings. The set itself keeps the handling of the standard Surflo butterfly, with soft flexible wings and a needle bonded at just under a 3 degree downward angle. What changes is the ending. As the needle comes out of the vein, the hinged shield is pressed over it until it clicks locked, and it stays activated through disposal. The technique asks little of the clinician: slight pressure activates the protector, and no new insertion routine has to be learned. Eight configurations cover 19G to 25G needles in 3-1/2 in and 12 in tubing, the standard span for infusion and blood withdrawal work.
Features and Benefits
Sharps Protection
- Hinged Safety Shield – The protector snaps over the needle immediately after withdrawal and remains in place through disposal.
- One-Handed, Low-Effort Activation – Only slight pressure is needed to cap the needle, and the motion works with a single hand.
- Locked and Confirmed – An audible click confirms the shield has latched, so protection is verified rather than assumed.
Set Design
- Soft, Flexible Wings – Interlocking wings readily conform to the body's contour and give a steady grip during venipuncture.
- Angled Needle Bond – The needle is bonded just under 3 degrees down, helping it rest along the vessel with less risk of occlusion.
- Latex and DEHP Free – The sets are latex free and DEHP free, suiting sensitive care environments.

The Butterfly Set, with a Safer Ending
Most winged-set injuries happen after the clinical work is done, during withdrawal and carry-away. This set redesigns only that ending, leaving the insertion clinicians trust completely untouched. Safety that does not ask staff to relearn their technique is safety that survives contact with a busy ward.
- Protection at the Risky Moment – The shield deploys as the needle exits the vein, covering the exact seconds when sticks occur.
- No New Technique to Learn – Insertion is unchanged from the standard winged set, an adoption edge over devices that alter the procedure.
- Stays Locked to the Bin – Once clicked, the protector remains activated through disposal, protecting environmental staff as well.
- Familiar Wings and Tubing – The soft wings and two tubing lengths match what units already stock, so the switch is painless.
