VeinViewer Flex helps visualize vasculature in difficult-access patients including those with obesity, edema, dark skin and other issues. It provides a real-time image of the patient’s peripheral blood pattern. Its patented technology allows clinicians and EMS personnel to see blood patterns in veins up to 15 mm deep and clinically relevant veins up to 10 mm deep. Clinicians can also see peripheral veins, bifurcations, valves and can assess the refill rate of veins in real time.
VeinViewer Flex will be on display at EMS World Expo from Sept. 15-19 at booth #230.
