IV vein transilluminator....great for those difficult to find veins on any patient.

Check them out on eBay. Put " IV vein transilluminator" in the search block and read about them or simply go to:

Not too bad of a deal for a red LED flashlight. Not practical for use on the ambulance, but it could help you read a map at night...............

All that really is, is a red LED flashlight...

The LED light on my external hard drive works just as well. Maybe I should try and sell it!

Reminds me of when I sold "hardware firewalls" for PDAs to stop unauthorized connection via the IR sensor. It was a 1/2" square piece of electrical tape. Yeah I'm a jerk, I know it.

Use to work in a lab as a phlebotomist. Let me tell you, these things SUCK the left one. Don't waste the time or money.

The venalight is not a bad tool, it does help on obese darker skin people. The service I used to work at had them, because our medical director was the one that invented it for the street.

It was funny to see all the prototypes that he had made in the early days.

A paramedic that started having eye problems is still able to start IV's because the light helps him see the veins.

The medic soon will resemble Iron Man: gadgets galore encasing, somewhere deep inside, the remnants of a soul.

My eyesight is so bad, the optomatrist cannot measure my eyesight with that great big measurement thingy. You know, the one that makes you look like a Darth Vader reject. Yet, I have no problem starting IV's; even on some of the worst of pts.

If you can't feel it, don't stick it.
