Infrared Vein Finder Viewer Portable Medical Vein Locator Detector, Illumination Visualization Lights for Nurses in Transilluminator, IV Phlebotomy Venipuncture Support

I bought this unit to use in my clinic for difficult IV starts. This product does not work - not even on large veins. It is completely useless. Not just that but in the shipping box they sent over (by accident) the amount of money that the manufacturer charged them for the unit which was about $200 dollars. SO 1000$ profit on a POS product. Don't waste your money. Better spend an extra 1-2K on a reputable product.

Can’t use it unless it’s connected to an outlet. I wish it’s portable .Portability is very important in delivering our patient care.

I am opening up my own direct primary care practice and immediately, I began thinking about the "difficult stick" patient. I looked at some of the cheaper vein finders but they all had mixed reviews. I then asked a seasoned nurse who works for a local hospice for her advice and she recommended this device. While it was expensive, I figured it would pay for itself in the long run. And I have not been disappointed! It almost appears to be magic. It easily shows the superficial veins in the hands and arms. The infrared camera hovers 6-7 inches over the target so it does not have to contact the patient's skin, making it easy to use both hands to easily identify the vein and make the stick. The sellers have been very supportive and have gone out of their way to make certain I was happy with the product. I highly recommend it!

My veins are pretty much shot. So I didn’t have any success with this vein finder. I’m sure if you’re a normal person it would probably work a lot better. But I don’t really know that’s just speculation.
