“This home-made smart vein finder is used to find veins for various types of injections in medical centers where injections are carried out, and it is also applicable for centers like nursing homes,” Erfan Ganji told ANA.
He noted that the smart vein finder has greatly reduced the risks of all types of injections and is considered as one of the most widely-used medical equipment in this area, saying that the invention has been designed with a smart system and up-to-date capabilities and enjoys new possibilities to display the hidden veins of the body.
The device has been developed for all age groups and can improve the quality level of providing easier medical services, Ganji said.
According to the young inventor, attempts have been made to make the device look attractive and different to entertain children in order to make them cooperate more in injections.
A vein finder, as the name suggests is a device that helps healthcare providers see veins when they are unable to locate them easily with a naked eye.
It is used to assist in locating children's veins when the child has to undergo cannulation. It is a small hand held device that uses near-infrared light reflection to create a map of the veins that is reflected onto the patient's skin.
