The VeinViewer is a cutting-edge medical device developed by the Florida-based company Christie Medical Holdings. This revolutionary tool is changing how medical professionals locate and access veins, making the process more efficient and comfortable for patients.
It is designed to address the common challenges healthcare providers face. Particularly when finding suitable veins for various medical procedures, such as IV insertions or blood draws. For medical practitioners and patients, struggling with multiple needle pricks can be an unpleasant and frustrating experience.
The secret behind VeinViewer Flex lies in its advanced HD imaging and exclusive Df2 (digital full field) technology. By using near-infrared light, this device is capable of penetrating the skin and being absorbed by the blood while being reflected by the surrounding tissue.
The device captures this valuable information, processes it, and projects it digitally in real-time onto the patientโs skin. As a result, this digital approach eliminates the need for guesswork and enhances the accuracy of vein identification.
It can able to visualize blood patterns up to 15mm deep and identify clinically relevant veins as deep as 10mm. The healthcare workers can also use it as a hands-free device. In other words, it frees healthcare providers from having to hold and manipulate the device manually.
This not only reduces the physical strain on the medical staff but also allows them to focus more on the patientโs care and well-being.
