Near-infrared vein finder
Near-infrared vein finder are devices used to try to increase the ability of healthcare providers to see veins.[1] They use near-infrared light reflection to create a map of the veins.[1] The received imagery is then either displayed on a screen or projected back onto the patient's skin. Unsurprisingly, they may not increase the success of starting intravenous catheters in children,[1] since the difficulty may arise not in locating the vessel, but in physical manipulation of the needle.
Luminetx introduced a device called VeinViewer in 2006,[2] and Accuvein introduced a product called Accuvein in 2008.[3][4] The machines in the United States cost about $15,000 as of 2015.[5]
Nurses and other health care practitioner can easily pass IV cannula and other parenteral dosage with the help of a vein finder.[6]
