3. What is vein illumination devices?
 It is a device that is shined on the body of a patient to
enhance the visual contrast of the veins.
 Vibrant,visual technology
 Designed to enable medical professionals to perform
easy and fast access

4. FUNCTION OF VEIN
Veins are an important part of
our circulatory system. They are
small blood vessels which
generally carry deoxygenated
blood to the heart from the
tissue, except umbilical vein and
pulmonary vein which carry
oxygenated blood

5. Objectives
 Of all invasive medical procedures,venipuncture is
the most common. When drawing blood or
performing an IV insertion procedure on a patient
whose veins are difficult to access , the potential for
multiple needle stick goes up and the time available
for other patients goes down.
 Medical professionals know that the venipuncture
can be particularly challenging in some patient .Even
experienced professionals sometimes have difficulty
in locating a suitable vein.

6. Those with difficult venous access include…
 Elderly people
 Dark-skinned patients
 Burn victims
 Restless or agitated patients
 Drug abusers
 Obese patients
 Hairy skin
 Swollen tissue patients
 Hypovolaenia
 Therefore , VEIN VISUALIZATION IS HIGHLY BENEFICIAL IN
THESE CONDITIONS. This device play important role in treating
patients where vascular positioning is difficult. This save time for
both nurses and patients

7. How does it work?
Hemoglobin in the blood absorbs
infrared light. When the device is
held above the skin, vein appear
noticeably different than the
surrounding tissues. The
vasculature shows up clearly on
the skins surface, aiding in vein
location for access and avoidance

8. Advantages
It can be useful during different vascular
surgery & sclerotherapy .It can help in
vascular procedures to:
 Show veins to patients
 Map veins for phlebotomy
 Highlight veins during transdermal laser therapy
 Locate feeder vein for cosmetic practice

9. Drawbacks
They are very expensive. Many
companies now market vein
finder products and these
products can cost over 5000$
depending on quality and utility

10. Some vein
locater devices
are:

11. Accuvein
They are small in size and have
rechargeable battery.
They cost 4500$.

12. Veinlite
It costs only 600$.
This is the most lower
cost option for vein
access. The patented
C-shaped makes easy
needle access.

13. Aimvein
 Easily adjust the brightness to get a highly accurate
picture of a patients veins.
 The Light can be viewed with unprotected eye. It is
safe on eyes.

14. Vein viewer
 VeinViewer delivers valuable information for the
entire vascular access procedure and should be used
to help assess the patient Pre-, During- and Post-
access. Everyone from the novice to the experienced
clinician can benefit from VeinViewer.
 It costs 30,000$ as it is the most advanced of them
all.

16. Venipuncture
 The area where the blood is to be drawn is first
cleaned with a germ killing solution.
 The medical technician will wrap a flexible band on
the upper part of the arm to apply some pressure to
that area making the vein enlarge with blood.
 They insert needle ad withdraw blood
 Therefore ; the result is often multiple venipuncture
attempts, leading to patient discomfort
,dissatisfaction and delayed treatment.

17. Traditional Method is used

18. Conclusion
 Performing venipuncture and starting peripheral
intravenous infusions are among the most
challenging clinical skills you ever have to master.
Not all nursing schools offer enough hand on
learning and hospitals commonly provide only
limited opportunities for supervised practice. Even
for the experienced clinician ,IV placement can prove
challenging depending on the patient and their
pathology. So , to increase nurse confidence, improve
patients satisfaction and reduce delays… vein
illumination devices are important and should be
used in all hospitals, nursing homes etc.

19. NOTE:
MORE EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE
WITH LESS PATIENTS
DISCOMFORT RESULT IN HIGHER
PATIENT SATISFACTION.
