Veinlite EMS PRO Vein Finder – Emergency Vein Access Device Specifically Designed for EMTs and First Responders Performing IV Access on Patients (Updated 2024)

I honestly thought this was "voodoo" but an assistant convinced me to try it and, boy, was she right! It really can help locate/highlight hard-to-see veins, and I have found this a valuable tool to have in the "arsenal", especially for patients who are "hard sticks".Granted, as others have noted, it does not illuminate deep veins (that's not what it's for), but as an affordable compromise between the naked eye and those multi-thousand dollar ultrasound devices, this gets the job done.

I am a very hard stick for blood draws and IVs. Most of the hospitals and doctors offices around my area do not have these type of devices. Even ambulances don’t carry them. Since I hate having black and blue marks all over my arms and occasionally getting stuck in the neck, I purchased this device so the nurses and other medics can utilize my purchased equipment so they can usually stick me the first time to obtain the blood or insert an IV. It’s great that they can see the veins and stop sticking me over and over due to small squiggly veins. However, it’s unfortunate that I have to buy the equipment myself but it’s well worth it!

I found it extremely helpful as a nurse, as it helped me decide the best veins. It is light and small enough I clip the nice camo green cover to my scrub pants. It looks and feels a good make, You have to ensure the room is darkened for best results , but it also has a bright white light for examining beside the vein viewing orange light. The only thing I did not like was the clear plastic coverings for hygiene which really hindered the viewfinder when used, was the only reason why i rated 4. I opted not to use the plastic coverings, and just cleanse according to protocols. I was fast and spot on most of the time, and successful in one-time sticks after obtaining this. Increased my level of confidence, with patients avoiding multiple sticks. Directions are spot-on and accurate from the get-go. From then on I knew how to maneuver it better with practice. Highly recommend

I bought this as back up for when im traveling so I won’t have to ask for help to get an iv. I don’t need much help to begin with but I bought it just to have. It has comeIn handy a few times. If you are experienced with ivs like myself you don’t need it. Don’t waste the money. But if you are not confident in your sticks go for it! Def worth it then! Works as described. Def one of the better vein lights I have used.

Couldn’t use on people with damaged veins.

Bought this to use as an IV Hydration nurse and it has come in handy on a few occasions for people with small or difficult to find veins! Worth the money!

Did not work as advertised. Neither nurse nor could find a vein for my IV

Amazing product. I am phlebotomist and sometimes its difficult to find veins on certain people. This is an amazing tool.
