Vein viewer is a device that helps healthcare providers to easily access veins when trying to collect a blood sample or administer IV medications on a patient.

It’s a medical device that uses near-infrared light to detect veins underneath the skin. The infrared light helps display a map of the patient’s vasculature directly on the surface of the skin, allowing the caregiver to see under a patient’s skin. This enables the medical professional to easily locate a suitable vein when administering medications. 

The vein viewer device was invented in 1995 by Herbert Zeman, an Emeritus Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging, University of Tennessee Health Science Center. It, however, became popular in recent years when many of its benefits are becoming obvious beyond the manifest values.

The inventor, after observing series of painful sticking resulting from countless poking following difficult situations where healthcare providers’ are unable to locate veins easily in some patients, came up with the new intervention to help salvage the situations.

Needless to say, it was a solution that came with loads of benefits for healthcare professionals as well as their patients.

Apart from the obvious function of illuminating the vein underneath the skin so that clinicians can take a sample of the patient’s blood or have an x-ray view of what’s going on in the veins while performing their duty, vein finder also offers other unique benefits for medical professionals.

Beyond the obvious benefits, I’m going to show you how vein finder can be an essential tool for increasing your productivity.

Since you’ve read this post up to this stage, it means you really want to know how this gadget can help improve your services and increase your bottom line.

How Does Vein Viewer Works to Benefit You, Your Patients, and Your Practice?

If you really care about the comfort and happiness of your patients, please read the following information carefully and attentively.

I’m saying this because I want you to reap all the benefits therein in this post concerning vein viewer.

First, I want you to know that nobody enjoys being poked repeatedly with needles in an effort to have his or her vein accessed. Many people are only enduring this condition because there used to be no alternatives.

Two decades ago before the invention of vein viewer, it is often difficult to access the vein in some patients, especially children younger than 3 years.

So, most often than not, the prolonged procedure results in more pains, trauma and subcutaneous hemorrhage resulting from frequent attempts.

All the different methods used prior to the advent of the vein viewer technology to dilate the subcutaneous vein in order to enhance visibility and facilitate cannulation remained unsuccessful in most cases.

So, many patients continued to groan in pains whenever there is a need to prick their veins for blood samples or administering of IV medications.

Today, however, vein viewer offers the ultimate alternative to all the painful procedures in the past.

Thus, if you have not been using the vein viewer yet in your hospital, you might be leaving money on the table for your competitors. No doubt, it’s only a matter of time; you will soon start to feel the negative impact of such neglect of modern innovation on the patronage to your health services.

2. It allows for a single needle sticking

As the hemoglobin in the blood absorbs the infrared light from the vein finder, it makes the veins to appear noticeably different than the surrounding tissue.

Vein viewers are generally illuminating machines that provide images of veins’ map on the skin making it easy for health care providers to locate the veins in order to collect blood samples or administer IV medications.

They have antenna that makes it easy to determine the ideal distance from the illuminator to the skin surface so as to create the most accurate images of the veins. Also, the gadgets provide views of blood vessels up to certain subcutaneous depth.

Some Case Studies about Vein Viewer

Many patients who have seen a vein viewer in action were really wowed by the effectiveness and efficiency of the gadget in displaying veins’ images on skins. Patients themselves can see, first hand, the ease with which the care givers are locating needed veins. This makes their works faster and eases the pains on the patients as well.

If you have had a painful experience in the past, you will forever cherish such a new encounter. And never will you allow anyone to prick your vein without using the vein viewer.

As a medical practitioner, I want you to put your sense of empathy into play here.

If you happen to be in the shoes of your patients, wouldn’t you rather pay more to access health facilities that are sensitive to your pains than those that are careless about the pains you feel?

I guess your response is as good as mine.

Human beings are hedonistic in nature. No one loves pains. And we can do anything to avoid a painful experience, including changing our loyalty to a personal physician.

Patients won’t mind looking elsewhere for hospitals or clinics with facilities that lessen their pains.

Let’s look at the cases of some people who have had first-hand experiences with both painful and comfortable situations. Their thought will give you a real life situation of how little changes to your health care services can bring-in tremendous incomes.

“I think the logic behind vein viewer is a good idea,” said Evan. “I couldn’t count the number of times I have gone for blood test that nurses have missed my vein,” he added. “My first encounter with the vein viewer was a completely impressive and comfortable one. I doubt if I will ever allow any nurse to prick my vein again without the use of a vein viewer,” he concluded.

Case study 2:

Maryann, Miami, Florida

According to Maryann, a real estate consultant in Miami, “Vein viewer is a wonderful technology,” she says. “The device used in a semi-darkness environment to take a blood sample from the smallest vein in my breast to test for a cancer,” she continues. “It was a painless experience. I hate to see phlebotomists or nurses searching desperately for veins on their patients,” she added.

Case study 3:

John, Roswell, Atlanta, Georgia

“This is an interesting tech,” says John. “In fact, it is a revolution in the health industry since virtually any nurse can operate the gadget without any fore training,” he added.

Case study 4:

Roseline, Woodstock, Georgia

“My first encounter with the device was when it was used on my grandmother during an emergency,” says Roseline. “My grandmother was unconscious and it wasn’t easy locating her veins. However, when a vein finder was used on her, the veins details became visible enough for the medical team attending to her to administer the IV medications on her,” she narrated.

Case study 5:

Paul, Houston, Texas

“This is cool. It really saves me from a previous experience where some silly nurses kept missing my vein before they could finally find one on my skull, leaving me with bruises and pains” says Paul. “On this occasion where the vein locator was used, the nurse easily found my vein and took the blood in one quick attempt. I won’t ever allow anyone to insert needles into my skin without using the gadget,” he finalized.

All the above cases point to the experiences of different individuals who have found the vein viewer to be of immense benefits to them.

As you can see, none of these individuals are willing to have his or her vein pricked without the use of a vein viewer. This is because they have enjoyed the comfortable solutions provided by the vein viewer technology.

Likewise, no patient, who have seen a librating experience in another hospital or clinic with want to suffer an avoidable pain in your clinic if you do not have a vein viewer in place.

I guess you can now see the difference. Nobody enjoys having their veins poked endlessly. Even, your employees will be more comfortable when they can actually help their patience to get rid of undue pains. Plus, it helps them to save the time they would have wasted on a difficult encounter.
