We’ve all been there – sitting in the doctor’s office, sleeve rolled up, watching nervously as the nurse searches for that elusive vein. For some, it’s a quick and painless process. For others, it can feel like an eternity of poking and prodding. But what if there was a way to make this experience easier for everyone involved?

I had trouble just reading this article because of past blood draw experiences. So, yes, I would welcome anything that would help make this process easier.
Kurt, this works well as I experienced during a recent medical scan. I plan to request this technique be used for future scans should they be necessary
Yes, I would definitely be a candidate for this new innovative technology. I have neuropathy in my lower legs and would love for drs to actually see what’s happening with the veins in my lower legs
I s this company a public traded company?
We already have had these devices that have been in use for years in the hospital settings. One is the vein finder that uses near- infrared light and the other uses ultrasound. But here is the problem…you (as the nurse) can’t find one when you need it, so the patient still suffers. On the other side as a patient, I am a very hard stick (my record is 17 sticks for one blood draw) I always request they start searching for a vein finder the second I walk in the door, never have they found one. So, until hospitals start putting patients need before profit all the technology in the world won’t help.
