As a patient, there are numerous benefits when your nurse or technician uses the VeinViewer. In addition to the potential for fewer needle sticks and less pain, VeinViewer may help reduce the risk of infection.
Patient Benefits of VeinViewer:
- Fewer needle sticks means the potential for less pain.
- With a greater percentage of success on the first stick, that means less time spent and greater patient satisfaction.
- Children find the VeinViewer image a great distraction from the procedure, which not only eases their fears, but also makes it easier on you and your clinician. Plus, they think it’s cool!
- By reducing the need for central line placement due to the inability to find IV access, you reduce the chance of an increased length of hospital stay.
- By reducing the number of attempts at gaining peripheral IV access and the need for central line placement, it also reduces cost of consumables, time spent and treatment of avoidable infections.
- Through reduced number of attempts to start an IV, the VeinViewer may also benefit your clinician by potentially reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks.
- VeinViewer has a “first stick” success rate of two times that of traditional methods*.
