Viewpoint Medical: VENA vein viewer

Viewpoint Medical aims to develop a smart, portable and affordable vein viewer that will greatly aid nurses and doctors with venipunctures and cannulations. Between 25-30% of patients in the Netherlands have difficult venous access (DVA) and require multiple (3 or more) cannulation attempts. DVA is an ongoing medical condition, .. resenting primarily in children, elderly, obese and chronically, or critically ill patients. The failure rate can be as high as 50% in these individuals, making venipuncture a leading cause of medical injury and clinical escalations. With the employment of the Viewpoint Medical VENA vein viewer, this failure rate is expected to drop significantly.
