The Vein Locator is a solution that uses red light as a mechanism for locating veins. When switched on and held it close to the skin of the target area of the patient, the device is able to make veins visible. No image processing is required. The Vein Locator runs on rechargeable batteries. A charger is included with the product. The Vein Locator uses the principle of red light absorption by deoxy-hemoglobin content in the patient’s vein. Deoxy-hemoglobin in the vein absorbs red light and veins therefore show up clearly on the patient’s skin against the brighter red background of the surrounding tissues. In addition, red light is non-ionizing in nature, harmless to human skin and does not need extra equipment to process the image.
