Vein Rolling Prevention Device
Device that prevents vein rolling to facilitate medical care
this device aims to increase the success rate of needle insertion during venipuncture for nurses with little to no experience.
About
The phenomena of “rolling veins” occurs most commonly in the elderly. Cases where a medical professional requires multiple attempts to puncture a vein can lead to painful bruising over large regions around the puncture sites. As some nursing staff are not trained to deal with veins that roll during course work, this device aims to increase the success rate of needle insertion during venipuncture for nurses with little to no experience.
Key Benefits
Decreases lateral vein movement during venipuncture, reducing the number of times a nurse/doctor need to perform needle insertion. Inexpensive. Noninvasive
