In the phlebo area, extracting blood from palpable veins is a piece of cake but when you come across with people having easily collapsed and hard to find veins, then that's a problem. But worry no more, introducing the lab's new toy, the vein finder!
If you check the specifications, this handheld vein finder comes with a stand, charger and cradle port. This vein finder is made for pedia patients and patients with vascular positioning difficulties, such as obesity, swollen tissue, hairy skin, dark skin, hypovolemia, etc.

My personal review:
Although this helps you to find the suitable vein of choice for venipuncture, you still need to trust your instinct. Palpate the vein of choice as many times to confirm. I can't agree much using this to obese patients for the reason that it probably can't penetrate the fats:-) However, at least this plays a significant role to help improve the success rate of vein puncture and reduce patient pain.
