If a vein is at risk of collapsing during venipuncture, using the butterfly method can be a good option as it is less traumatic to the vein and can often result in a successful blood draw with minimal discomfort to the patient. Using a smaller gauge needle (such as with the butterfly method) may also be helpful in reducing the risk of vein collapse.
