Emergency physicians and nurses see every type of patient, and venous access can be unpredictable.

Factors contributing to difficult venous access (DVA):

• Size and fragility of vessels
• Dehydration
• Hypertension
• Multiple disease states
• Frequent or lengthy infusions
• Skin tone
• Edema or fatty tissue
• Shock induced vasoconstriction

VeinViewer^® can help the clinician find the optimal venipuncture site and avoid potential complications by:

• viewing veins up to 10mm deep not readily located through traditional methods of sight and touch.
• locating valves and bifurcations.
• decreasing the time it takes to place the IV or draw blood.
• helping determine patency after IV placement by visualizing the flushing of IV fluids.
• helping avoid an extravasation or infiltration by visualizing hemoglobin escaping into surrounding tissue.

Improved peripheral venous access in the ER means:

• reduced pain and stress from multiple sticks
• avoidance of treatment delays
• faster means to stabilizing procedures after vascular access is gained
• improved patient throughput

VeinViewer is peer reviewed and clinically proven to improve the success of vascular access procedures..
