Localizador de Veias Portátil

Detalhes do Produto

Visão Geral

The Localizador de Veias Portátil is a near-infrared (NIR) vein visualization device that projects a real-time map of subcutaneous veins directly onto the patient's skin. Using the principle that hemoglobin in blood absorbs infrared light more strongly than surrounding tissue, the device detects venous patterns and displays them as a high-contrast image, enabling clinicians to locate veins that are difficult to see or palpate. This significantly improves first-attempt venipuncture success rates and reduces patient discomfort from repeated needle sticks.

Aplicações Comuns

• Difficult venous access — Patients with obesity, dark skin, dehydration, or chronic illness where veins are hard to locate.
• Geriatric care — Elderly patients with fragile, rolling veins and reduced subcutaneous tissue.
• Oncology and chemotherapy — Patients with compromised veins from repeated treatments and extravasation risk.
• Emergency departments and ICU — Rapid IV access in critical situations where time is essential.
• Laboratory phlebotomy — Improving first-stick success for blood collection in high-volume labs.
• Dialysis and infusion centers — Locating suitable veins for vascular access and cannulation.

Modo de Uso

1. Power on the device and allow it to complete its self-check. Select the appropriate imaging mode for adult patients.
2. Position the patient's limb comfortably and apply a tourniquet to promote venous distension.
3. Hold the device approximately 15–25 cm above the target area, keeping it perpendicular to the skin surface for optimal projection accuracy.
4. Adjust the brightness and contrast settings until the vein pattern is clearly visible on the skin.
5. Identify a suitable vein — look for straight segments without bifurcations or valves. Note the depth indicator if available.
6. Perform venipuncture along the projected vein path, maintaining the device position until the needle is secured.
7. After successful access, release the tourniquet and power off the device. Clean the surface per facility protocols.

Principais Benefícios

• Real-time projection — Vein map is projected directly onto the skin, no screen to look away from.
• High success rate — Dramatically improves first-attempt cannulation, reducing patient anxiety and trauma.
• Adjustable depth modes — Multiple depth settings accommodate superficial and deeper veins.
• Portable and rechargeable — Built-in battery supports cordless use across departments and during patient transport.
• Non-invasive and safe — Near-infrared light is harmless; no radiation, no contact with the wound.

Safety note: The vein finder is an adjunct tool and does not replace clinical judgment. Always verify vein patency by palpation or flashback before cannulation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the infrared light source.
