Default accu vein, have you ever seen it?
I have HORRIBLE veins. more often than not, they end up in my neck or groin for access. I have used a foot several times. Since high dose chemo, and antibiotic and steroid therapy, my veins are shot! They always poke me to peices.

yesterday before my MRI the nurse said "Oh! let me get the new Accu Vein." and she dragged over this unit!

Watch the video. this thing flipped me out! I must have one!

That's amazing! I'm so glad they have this for all the "hard sticks" out there. I've always had "good" veins...never had a problem finding one or accessing it.

yup! My nuesr has a pocket type of this thing. She uses it to light up my veins. Then she can actually see that she is in the vein even when she gets no drawback.

I want one! So far I've only had one person who could find a vein and keep it from running away from them. I would never again have to hear "but it was just there!"

The VP from the company wrote me back. its about $4,500 for the hospital version. He said they are working on a more portable one for ambulances and blood draw stations. its pretty new, and not many places have it yet.

I told them I would be happy to give my testimonial in exchange for one I could take with me! He asked what is the closest hosptial to me, and would I be interested in being an example to help the sales team in my area? you betcha! I will let you know what, if anything happens.

Can you imagine the TY IV station? blink! there it is! Or the blood draw station at your local MD? OMG this little thing just has to be spread. I am very tired of being stuck 10 times!
