VeinViewer® For Pediatrics
Tiny veins. Big feelings.
VeinViewer® projects a real-time vascular roadmap directly onto the skin—helping pediatric teams choose the best access site before the first poke.
Why Pediatric Access is Different
Pediatric vascular access can be challenging even for experienced clinicians: veins are smaller, access points are limited, and “baby fat” can hide what you need to see. Add fear of needles and parent anxiety — and every extra attempt feels like a bigger deal.
What VeinViewer® helps reduce
The “here we go again” cycle that ramps up anxiety in patients and parents with each attempt
Re-sticks that increase fear, resistance, and stress for kids and caregivers
Escalations that slow down care when time and confidence matter
What VeinViewer® Helps Pediatric Teams Do
-
Ease needle-phobic patients with fun, painless technology
Visualize peripheral veins in real time (not a “guess and hope” approach)
Identify direction and branches to select a cleaner access path
Avoid valves and bifurcations that can lead to missed sticks or blown veins
-
Help children feel more in control with a projected “vein map” they can watch
Reduce anticipation and tension by shifting attention to the image
Help parents feel confident you have a plan—not just another try
-
Reveal deeper targets and patterns that aren’t easy to see or palpate
Identify more potential access sites when obvious options are limited
Support better decision-making in challenging pediatric presentations
-
When you can see what you’re working with, you can plan more precisely—improving first-stick success and minimizing repeat attempts.
Made for Teeny-Tiny Veins
VeinViewer® isn’t one “view.” It’s a set of real-time modes designed to help you adapt to the patient, the room, and the moment.
Pediatric-Friendly Advantages
Resize: Focus on a smaller window when access targets are tiny—especially helpful for infants and small pediatric veins
Fine Detail: Enhances finer vessel structures for clearer site selection
Inverse + brightness controls: Customize contrast for skin tone, hair density, and ambient lighting
TrueView™ accuracy: Supports accurate vein-width visualization when precision matters
Real-time, direct projection: No gels, dyes, or disposables — accurate imaging for the wiggliest patients
How VeinViewer® Works
Result: A live “vein map” that supports planning and adjustment throughout the access procedure.
Evidence for Pediatric Use
VeinViewer® is supported by peer-reviewed research and clinical experience in pediatric vascular access, including studies focused on difficult IV access and improved identification of access targets.
