AccuVein Vein Visualization in Different Procedures

Vein visualization helps clinicians succeed in many procedures.

Cosmetic
By using vein illumination with AccuVein’s breakthrough device, many veins that might be otherwise undetectable without a vein locator, can be located and mapped on the patient’s skin.

AccuVein can help in cosmetic procedures to:

• Locate and avoid veins
• Minimize bruising
• Reduce healing time by optimizing site selection
• Improve patient satisfaction

IV starts
On patients with difficult venous access, finding a vein is challenging for even the most experienced nurse or doctor.  Patients who are elderly, obese, dark-skinned, hypovolemic, have a history of IV drug use, or have chronic illness present unique problems to finding an appropriate vein to start an IV.

• Improves patient care
• alleviate the frustration, stress, and discomfort.
• locate and assess appropriate veins for safe and efficient IV access
• improve first stick success by 98%.

Blood draw

The AccuVein helps perform blood draws by projecting a map of the peripheral veins on the skin, thereby simplifying the task of locating the point of needle placement. The device has been found to increase first stick success and catheter dwell time while reducing patient pain and reduce procedure time.

Vascular

AccuVein can help in vascular procedures to:

• Show veins to patients
• Locate feeder veins by watching fill
• Show foam sclerosant in real time
• Highlight veins during transdermal laser therapy
• Map veins for phlebectomy
• Visually confirm efficacy of procedure
