The 3D Vein Viewer Locator, equipped with patented technology, offers superior clarity in displaying small veins beneath thick subcutaneous fat compared to competing products. Including premature/obese infants, individuals with dark skin, kidney disease, cancer, and burn patients. It supports both difficult intravenous access (DIVA) patients and the general population. According to a study in the INS Journal of Infusion Nursing, visualization devices contribute to preventing infiltration, achieving a 30% increase in success rates. The user interface aligns with healthcare professionals' familiar postures, its one-time success rate surpasses competitors by 13%, reaching 94%. and reducing pain. The screen is designed exclusively for nurses, reducing medical stress and disputes, and enhancing the quality of emergency care.



Global demand for Intravenous (IV) treatment is steadily rising. In 2019, 37 million patients in the United States underwent Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIVC) therapy, commonly used for shock and severe trauma treatment. Over 30% of adults and up to 50% of children require PIVC catheterization, often falling into the DIVA category. This product aims to enhance the medical experience for such patients, aligning with SDGs Health and Well-being Goal 3.2 by reducing neonatal deaths, facilitating emergency medical aid, and achieving healthcare equality (Goal 10.2).



The device employs near-infrared (3D) direct technology to vividly display small veins, which are harmless to the human body. It surpasses most products in the market that utilize (2D) reflective technology. The membrane keyboard and intuitive UI design enable one-touch activation of the 3D direct mode (remote) and rapid switching to 2D reflective mode (proximal).



The physical keyboard addresses issues faced by competitors, such as touchscreen malfunctions due to bloodstains or raindrops. The curved and rounded design reduces pressure between medical professionals and patients while facilitating blood removal and cleaning. The cliffhanger design ensures easy handling and a sleek, compact style. The 3D direct technology and downward projection light improve energy efficiency by 10.5 times, further enhancing success rates and reducing discomfort.



This product has been honored with the 2023 Red Dot Award and the Gold Award for Best Design of the Year.
