Venipuncture can be quite a complicating procedure if the doctors are not able to locate the veins in an instant. The procedure can sometimes take up to ten minutes, where the doctors have to use multiple needle sticks. Thanks to AccuVein for developing the AV300, which is the first portable, non-contact vein illumination device. The AV 300 helps medical practitioners to see a map of the peripheral veins and their position for procedures like Venipuncture which is required for blood draws, intravenous lines and delivery of medications.
It is been reported that in cases where veins can be easily located, there is a more positive response from the patients. The AV300 can be of a lot of help in emergency situation where the time saved on Venipuncture can be used to furnish other important reports within no time. For practitioners that prefer a hand-held device, the AV300 can quickly switch between the handsfree and the hand-held option. Video after the jump.
