Ready to learn more about AccuVein? Let's dive right in!

What is AccuVein?

AccuVein is a cutting-edge handheld device that uses infrared technology to help healthcare providers accurately visualize and find veins beneath the skin during IV insertions, blood draws, and other venipuncture procedures.

‍

AccuVein is typically used in hospitals and clinics to prevent the use of multiple needle sticks and ensure the smooth running of blood extraction procedures.

What Are the Benefits of Using AccuVein?

As we've highlighted in the section above, AccuVein is a device with plenty of benefits for doctors, so let's explore some of them

Faster Treatments

‍

To kick off our list of benefits, we've talked about the possibility of performing all the aesthetic treatments in less time. Your doctor can quickly identify your veins and make injections faster than ever.

And with faster treatments come faster results and, with faster results, quicker return to the daily routine.

More accuracy

‍

AccuVein helps healthcare providers with all types of injectable treatments and ensures optimal accuracy without the risk of missing or blocking veins during procedures like IV insertions and blood draws.

You can rest assured that AccuVein is precise enough to help you achieve your aesthetic goals, no matter the procedure you undergo.

Higher success rates

‍

It goes without saying that AccuVein significantly improves the success rate of venipuncture, particularly in patients with difficult-to-find veins, like children, the elderly, and individuals with conditions like obesity or dehydration.

Best of all? AccuVein can be used in various medical settings, including emergency rooms, surgery, and outpatient care.

Fewer Complications

Last but not least, one of the most important advantages of using a vein mapping system like AccuVein is the reduction of risks and complications related to the treatment, such as bruising, tissue damage, or infections caused by repeated needle sticks.

Here are some other benefits of AccuVein:

• Easy of use
• Portable handheld device (everyone can hold for meticulous patient assessment)
• Long battery life
• Offers several viewing modes

How does the AccuVein work?

AccuVein works by using infrared light to project a real-time image of the veins onto the surface of the skin. Let's explore its functioning mode more in-depth:

The AccuVein device emits infrared light, which is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, creating a clear contrast between the veins and the surrounding tissue. The veins are then projected onto the skin as a visible map, and therefore, the doctor can see their exact location, depth, and path.

Who Can Use AccuVein?

AccuVein devices can be used by multiple healthcare professionals across different medical disciplines. Let's explore them one by one:

1. Doctors and Surgeons: Doctors and surgeons use AccuVein to accurately locate veins during procedures like IV insertions, blood draws, and injections.
2. Nurses: Nurses can also use AccuVein to assist in drawing blood or administering medications, particularly in patients with difficult veins.
3. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs): EMTs tend to use AccuVein in emergency situations where quick and accurate vein identification is vital.
4. Pediatricians: It's sometimes hard to locate veins in children because they have smaller and less visible veins. Pediatricians often resort to AccuVein to find the veins and complete the necessary procedures.
5. Geriatric Specialists: Similarly to children, it can be very challenging to locate veins in elderly patients due to age-related changes, and thus, geriatric specialists use this technique very often. 
6. Anesthesiologists: To assist in placing intravenous lines before surgeries or procedures.

Long story short, AccuVein is beneficial and suitable for any healthcare professional who needs venipuncture or intravenous access.
