Practical Applications

Assess & Inspect Veins

There may be a wide range of factors why a patient may have difficult venous access (DVA). Patient's with DVA can be put under a lot of stress and hassle due to multiple injection attempts. Factors that cause “difficult” veins can be:

1. Conditions that cause changes in vascular conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.)
2. History of repeated venipuncture/history of long-term infusion therapy
3. Different patients have different skin, such as darker skin and excessive hair
4. Skin changes such as scars or tattoos
5. The age of the patient (newborn and elderly)
6. Obesity
7. Lack of body fluids
8. Intravenous drug use

With the VEINCAS Vein Finder, you can effortlessly find the best venipuncture point regardless of the condition of the patient's veins.

IV Access

Knowing how to perform intravenous (or IV) access is an important and daily challenge for many medical professionals and doctors. With many patients being nervous of needles and with the average IV taking two to three attempts for patients with healthy veins it’s important to create the most calming and hassle-free environment for the patient.

The Problem

Student doctors or nurses may have more difficulty locating veins, which can cause more unnecessary hassle of the patient. Patients with skin infections, damaged veins, chronic illness, who are dark skined or obese will give even the most experienced doctors trouble finding the right vein.

The Solution

To prevent unintentional patient discomfort, doctors, nurses, and health care professionals alike can use the VEINCAS Vein finder. The VEINCAS Vein Finder is a small, lightweight, and easy-to-use device that detects and projects veins on the patient's skin. Improve first venipuncture success, increase patient trust, and assess veins with ease with the VEINCAS Vein Finder.

For Surgery

Venipuncture is a necessary task for almost every invasive surgery. It can be difficult for even the most experienced medical professionals and surgeons because of many variables with the patient's skin or vein condition. Older, obese, very young patients or patients with damaged veins due to excessive vein puncture or medical illness, in particular, can cause a lot of trouble for experienced surgerons.

Venipuncture Complications

Patients must endure unnecessary stress and pain because of failed venipuncture. It may prolong surgeries, stress may increase for both parties and patients may even develop a hematoma. With the VEINCAS Vein Finder, we can resolve all these complications in no time. The VEINCAS Vein Finder produces a real-time visual “map” (using (NIR) light) of the veins on the surface of the skin, which allows for a quick and hassle-free venipuncture. Using its depth-mode, the VEINCAS also displays how deep the vein so the medical expert can assess at what angle they need to insert the needle for optimal accuracy and patient comfort. .

For Cosmetic Surgery

Injections and venipunctures are a fine art when it comes to cosmetic procedures. The last thing a client wants is excessive bruising, long healing times and unnecessary pain.
The VEINCAS Vein Finder can bypass fine veins and prevent intravascular injections. By using a vein map of th ess.

For Dental

The VEINCAS Vein Finder can help in IV sedation for dental procedures. Just hold the device over the skin, and the vein-map is represented on the surface of the skin. Simple to utilise, the VEINCAS saves time for both the patient and dentist.
Locating a suitable vein may present a problem for any experienced medical expert. There’s already plenty of tension on both ends of the needle without having difficulty detecting a vein. With the VEINCAS, you can ease the patient's nerves and perform a more reliable procedure.

For Training

Understandably, a young/trainee doctor or nurse first few venipunctures may be a bit shakey or unsuccessful. Improve doctor accuracy and confidence with our Vein Finders. Using the VEINCAS, all veins up to a depth of 8mm can be seen projected on the patient's skin. Teachers and professors can also use the Vein Finder to demonstrate to students how the veins function and where the best puncture points are on the patient's skin. Students can also be shown what various vein injuries and ailments such as Venous stenosis, Vein closure, Venous dispersion and more look like using the Vein Finder.

Why choose VEINCAS Vein Finder?

Highly praised and recommend by Infusion Nurses Society(INS): Vein Visualisation Technology has been highly recommended and documented by the Infusion Nurses Society;

Save Time: Save critical time by using the vein finder to decrease the time needed to find a suitable vein. Using the VEINCAS vein finder doctors saved an average time of 38% on patients aged 0-2 and 10% on patients aged 0-17.

*Research on 323 cases in Rhode Island Hospital, published at the International Academic Conference on ‘Emergency Medicine’

Find veins quickly and effectively: Studies discovered that there was a 61% increase in the number of veins found and a 56% increase rate of the number of suitable veins found compared to traditional methods of visually finding the vein and palpation.

*Study conducted by The Medical School of Brown University and published in INS 2012.

Improves the success rate of the first venipuncture: increasing the success rate of the first venipuncture will quicken the process and increase patient satisfaction. With the vein finder, the first venipuncture success rate for patients with “difficult” veins was 58% compared to using traditional methods, which only gave a 25% first venipuncture success rate.

**The research conducted by Yonsei University in South Korea, the article was published in the European ‘Journal of Pediatrics’ in March 2012. SCI 1.890.

Increase Revenue: Failed IV sticks cost hospitals thousands of euros every year. By greatly improving the first venipuncture rate, hospitals and clinics around Ireland can greatly reduce their costs.

Improve Patient Satisfaction: Increase patient satisfaction and improve the doctor-patient relationship by making the venipuncture quick and painless. With the VEINCAS depth detection function, the doctor can even find the depth of the vein and can evaluate the angle needed to insert the needle for greater accuracy and patient comfort. Jefferson Memorial Hospital asked 32 patients to rate their venipuncture experience. The results show that the Vein Viewer assisted method resulted in a score of 4.19 whilst traditional methods scored 1.89.

Save and Store Images: Save and store images of patients veins to further assess them and keep records of the patient's vein condition.
