VeinViewer® Flex for EMS & Fire Departments

Portable NIR technology. See veins in real time. Get access on the first attempt. Optimizing fast, confident vascular access in the field.

Give Your Teams a Better Shot at First-Stick Success.

Faster.

In the field, every second counts. Multiple IV attempts don’t just slow care — they increase patient anxiety, increase waste, tie up crews, and create documentation headaches.

VeinViewer® Flex is highly portable and uses near-infrared (NIR) light to project a real-time vascular roadmap directly on the skin’s surface, helping EMS and fire personnel to:

Save valuable time in identifying viable veins quickly in the field

Adjust their approach in real time with adjustable settings

Reduce multiple sticks in difficult patients, reducing supply waste

Improve the patient experience in high-stress situations

Designed for pre-hospital care, VeinViewer® Flex fits seamlessly into your response workflows — on the rig, in the station, and at the scene.

What Is VeinViewer® Flex?

VeinViewer® Flex is a highly portable, near-infrared (NIR) vein illumination system that:

The result: faster, more confident vascular access — especially when conditions are far from ideal.

Displays veins in real time on the patient’s skin
Works on nearly all skin tones and ages, from pediatric to geriatric
Allows hands-free operation or operation with a simple stand or mount
Is military grade drop tested — drop tested for quality and durability, protecting your investment according to IEC/UL standard 60601-1
Assembled in the U.S.A.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

Variations that can occur in the field where VeinViewer® Flex Stands Out

Visualize veins in low light, bright light, and flashing scene conditions
Use on scene, in the rig, at the station, or in triage.
Support difficult venous access in dehydrated, obese, or chronically ill patients.
From pediatric to geriatric and most skin types.
Reassess sites affected by prior sticks, scarring, or chronic access.
Help protect and monitor established lines from scene to hospital.
Fewer failed attempts mean fewer extra catheters and materials used.

For Providers & Agencies

Over time, fewer failed attempts can mean less time on scene, improved documentation, and higher satisfaction scores for both patients and receiving facilities.

Supports first-stick success –

Improves IV access in challenging patients (dehydrated, hypotensive, obese, chronic IV drug use, etc.)

Boosts provider confidence –

Helps crew perform during high-acuity calls

More consistent care–

Standardizes vascular access across crews and shifts

Stronger training outcomes –

Supports skill development for new medics and cross-trained fire personnel
