Good! Now I dont have to worry anymore about that.

My paramedic used it on our patient, was pretty cool had no idea they existed.

What about the arteries?

Normally too deep for this to work

this would make me be less reluuctant to get rid of my port, it was the only good thing i got from lymphoma.

This is like porn for nurses.

I'd like to see how well it could work for puppers and kit kats.
KiltedinSeattle
As someone who has had hundreds of needle sticks (blood draws, etc) this would be a Godsend. It sucks when they miss & dig with the needle.
YooperMan21
As someone who's worked as a phleb these can sometimes be handy but best way is still manual feel for vein and pulse

Infrared camera and projector, so simple, so cool.

Fun fact : something like this could be used to measure blood sugar without needles, but the people that make diabetic supplies have

shelved the patent so everyone still has to stab themselves.

If I'd were to use that on my right arm it would be like a spider web....

Atleast that laser wasnt in vein.

LOVE THIS MACHINE! Saved me from a bunch of blind IV catheter pokes while I was in the hospital with my chin falling off! Have tiny veins :(
MarcTheRN
We finally got some of those on our floor at the hospital, super handy for placing IVs.
Demmayyy
I love the sonar. It's awesome because it shows the needle/catheter piercing the lumen, and shows the depth of the vein.
overspeedreset
And yet they still miss 15 times.....
masterkev
I don't know why this comment got downvoted. Not even two weeks ago, 3+ year nurses missed my damn vein twice. So much experience yet they -
masterkev
fucking miss on somebody who is NOT keen to pain. Especially needles. Oh well though :l ... +1 for you bud.
overspeedreset
Thx and some people just don't like the truth....
Icatbelieveitsbutter
Unfortunately these don't show the depth of the veins and also don't account for veins that roll.
WhyAreAllGoodNamesTaken
Does this work on darker skinned people too?
MerToo
Who cares?
suedecouch
Yes, it uses infrared light, which your veins absorb because of the deoxygenated hemoglobin- proteins that oxygen clings to in your blood.
tornadosandwich
I think they mean the skin would be too dark to show the light. Like using a projector on a black wall
whatsisname
It detects the blood vessels in IR, then another light shines on the skin to indicate where they are.
tornadosandwich
I understand that, but what I'm saying is that a projected light may not be as visible on certain skin colors
whatsisname
Nah it works fine. The projector is pretty bright. Shine a flashlight on the closest brother you can find and you'll see that easily enough.

A hospital I went to had their last one stolen by a junkie, so yes.
Twichie
Yep, most common thing stolen in hospital ED, biomedical technician confirmed, next to the hand held thermometer.
priggishpurrs
That's super fucked up. How? ... How do they even get away with that? Isn't the machine big?
Twichie
we have a large one, and the staff hated it cause it's cumbersome, so they opted to buy the small handhelds which go walkies easy.

I was just thinking the same thing
Atomsk
You're so vein.
railgap
They need this for my wife. To say she's a hard stick is the understatement of the year. Last time the nurses had to go borrow a paramedic /
railgap
from the ER to get an IV in her.
dbstoo
The nurse used it to find the vein as she inserted the IV needle. Worked great!
ZachsAnomaiy
My nurse stuck a needle in wrong and I sprayed blood like a Kill Bill extra.
ProfDrDrSpiderpig
Oh dear god I need a portable one of these.
Arkatie
Because you're an inerveins drug user?
Byrd3790
I want one for the back of the ambulance.
ProfDrDrSpiderpig
Sort of. I get a lot of IVs and my veins are ridiculously hard to find.
demizu
they DO come battery powered. still hella expensive though, even from china.
almostlucy
Same. I'm super pale so they see the veins, but they're deep and TINY so they still stab the fuck out of me and bruise or collapse the vein.
Arkatie
Mine are only are hard to find before a surgery, when ive been fasting.
Demmayyy
Thy make your tattoos 3D... we play with it when the floor is slow. Also, I am the worst IV starter in the history of ever
leashie
Practice practice practice .
Starfis
But why are new nurses always practicing, practicing and practicing on me? Their hands are shaking more then mine.
leashie
Cause it's scary. New nurses are human beings who want to help and making you bleed hurts and seems counter intuitive.1/2
leashie
It takes time to learn to ignore the patients temporary discomfort.
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
I'd shine it on my dick.
BeerFueledAdventurer
They don't have a microscopic version yet, tho...

You still wouldn't find it.

Use a blue one, red has over 700nm wavelength and you could miss.

If you can find it.

"You'd have to find it first" would have had more comedic punch. Why am I commenting this
