WOW!! Too bad this company is privately owned. I would buy stock if it were available.

This one is way more high tech than the one my nurse at the IV place uses. However, hers emits the same orange glow and it almost looks like a little set of tongs. I like hers because it fits in your pocket. They just ordered a bunch of them for the local fire/rescue departments.

I am gonna be in cahoots with this man. unless you have had horrible access, you just cant imagine the nightmare of being stuck over, and over, and over and now each nurse only takes 3 tries, and turns you over to someone else. I have been known to go thru 5 nurses, then a supervisor. Its painful! Cut downs on your legs, and central line sticks are not fun.

The obese, and cancer patients are notorious for bad access. With this little thing...the veins are right there!

The VP of the Accuvein of the NorthEast Region asked if I would be willing to share my story. Without hesitation yes! double yes!

AccuVein - I am so in love with this. My veins are starting to get shot too. A good nurse in right light can usually get me in 2-3 tries, but I well recall Oct when 2 nurses tried (my guess) approx 8 or 9 times before the Dr came in and took it from my artery. Talk about pain. I'm going to take some info to my iv center. They don't use anything yet. Thanks so for the info!
