EMS PRO - Transilluminator Vein Finder

I found that this works exactly as advertised. It does work wonderfully to identify where the veins lie. What it does not do is perform miracles for venipuncture. I am a RN with 30 years of Dialysis experience. I purchased this for my unit for teaching "newbie's" how to assess and cannulate a dialysis access .It is a great confidence booster for those who are new to venipuncture. It works perfect for this application in identifying where the vessel is. What it can't do is teach depth or technique. With that being said you must still consider that the technique still remains the same it just helps by taking the "I don't know where it is" out of the equation. What I have learned is that if you are experienced and need a "vein finder" to find the vein. Then the vein is generally too small and fragile to support IV fluids or medications.It is a great product for teaching

I absolutely love this instrument and consider it a must have for any nurse performing IV insertions. Easy to use and very good at identifying veins, even those little ones that are deep and difficult to see. I highly recommend this item. Worth every penny

I think this is a pretty good device. It's best used in dim lit rooms. It's no hospital grade vein finder but I think it's a wonderful tool to have for small veins. Great for kids and adults!

No cumple con lo que la gente de salud espera.

Works as advertised. Worth every dollar. I can’t go to work without it 😁.

It’s not that easy to see veins unless you put a lot of pressure on it. But if a nurse is doing the IV she can’t free up her hands for using this thing. I don’t find it helpful.

I returned mine. It DOES work, just on me. This is why I gave it three stars. I have naturally tan skin and my veins didn't show up. My nurse, who has pale skin, put it on her arm and the veins were very pronounced; so it was the back of my hand once again. It works but if you've anything darker than pale skin, I would recommend that you pass.

I am a person whose veins have been abused my years of infusions and blood work to the point it was hard to find my veins when getting treatment. Now with this handy device, the nurses find the veins the first time instead of hunting them down. Saves about an hour in my treatment time. A God-send.Now, a patient shouldn't have to buy something like this but I realize nursing companies don't provide their nurses with this device so if you are blessed to have the means to buy this device, you are making your own life easier. You can stand on principle if you like, but my time has a value too.
