AccuVein: an easy way to find a vein in a difficult situation
In order to make an injection, you first need to find a vein, in order to put a dropper, you also need to find a vein. In some cases, a vein search is a real problem for some patients in whom the vessels do not appear too clearly under the skin.
Sometimes the doctor even has to pierce the skin several times, in search of a vein where an injection can be given. This is not the most pleasant procedure, and being repeated 2-3 times, it turns into anguish for the patient. It turns out that modern technologies can also help in such a complex issue as the detection of veins under the skin of a person. ')
For this, the AccuVein AV300 was released. The device is equipped with two low-power lasers, with ranges of 642 nm and 785 nm. These class 2 lasers do not cause any harm to the patient’s body, and are not dangerous. But when you hover the device on the skin immediately discovered a vein, no matter how "weak" it may be.
The device allows:
Shorten the vein search time, it is sometimes critical;
To reduce tissue trauma - the multiple punctures have already been mentioned above;
Facilitates the work of a doctor and the life of the patient, so to speak. True, the price can not be called low - the amount of 4500 US dollars can become an obstacle for many medical institutions. True, medical equipment has always cost a lot - and 4.5 thousand dollars is far from the highest price for a medical device.
Now the device is used in more than 3,000 medical institutions around the world, and I would like, of course, that the device be presented in domestic medicine.
