EMS PRO Vein Finder – Emergency Vein Access Device Specifically Designed for EMTs and First Responders Performing IV Access on Patients (Updated 2024)

I bought this as back up for when im traveling so I won’t have to ask for help to get an iv. I don’t need much help to begin with but I bought it just to have. It has comeIn handy a few times. If you are experienced with ivs like myself you don’t need it. Don’t waste the money. But if you are not confident in your sticks go for it! Def worth it then! Works as described. Def one of the better vein lights I have used.

I honestly thought this was "voodoo" but an assistant convinced me to try it and, boy, was she right! It really can help locate/highlight hard-to-see veins, and I have found this a valuable tool to have in the "arsenal", especially for patients who are "hard sticks".Granted, as others have noted, it does not illuminate deep veins (that's not what it's for), but as an affordable compromise between the naked eye and those multi-thousand dollar ultrasound devices, this gets the job done.

Works. Husband gave it to nurses at doctors office. Said doctor would not get them one.

I am a very hard stick for blood draws and IVs. Most of the hospitals and doctors offices around my area do not have these type of devices. Even ambulances don’t carry them. Since I hate having black and blue marks all over my arms and occasionally getting stuck in the neck, I purchased this device so the nurses and other medics can utilize my purchased equipment so they can usually stick me the first time to obtain the blood or insert an IV. It’s great that they can see the veins and stop sticking me over and over due to small squiggly veins. However, it’s unfortunate that I have to buy the equipment myself but it’s well worth it!

if you can see the vein this will see the vein.Not the best investment

Bought this to use as an IV Hydration nurse and it has come in handy on a few occasions for people with small or difficult to find veins! Worth the money!

Did not work as advertised. Neither nurse nor could find a vein for my IV

This isn’t necessary for the average Pt, but for the hard sticks its become my go to device with great success. This device has allowed me to get a good line, when the alternatives were an EJ or IO. Being able to locate an ideal vein, then trap it and apply traction while I advance, especially with the rollers makes a notable difference. You do have to dim the lights down though to get the best results, so I wouldn’t suggest trying to use this outside in the sunlight. Get’em loaded in the back of the truck, dim the lights and it’s good to go.
