Illumivein® High Powered Red LED Flashlight Torch Transilluminator Vein Finder

Helpful, but not great in well-lit situations. Not the same functionality as professional vein finders, but fine in scenarios where someone is not doing a few difficult sticks/day.

All it is is a red light. It does not help to find a vein. I wasted my money. It is a joke.

En realidad no funciona.

I have hemophilia. After 60 years of having blood drawn and infusions, my veins are horrible in my hands and wrists. It's the first (and only) place they want to stick me every time. With this I can prove to them, they aren't going to find a good vein there no matter how good they think they are. I hate being stuck multiple times because I end up bruised so badly it looks like I was beaten up. Had to use this last week and the nurse got so mad I have it, she wanted to stick me in my hands again and I was able to prove to the doc my veins are shot. Ended up with the IV almost in my underarm once I was able to show her where my last good vein is in my arm. Sensitive area for an IV so she purposefully made it hurt since she wasn't allowed to stick my hands or wrists. Nasty nurse but at least I didn't come home looking like I was almost beaten to death.

Reason for the lower stars is even nurses or doctors don’t really know how to use it. I did not return it but decided to give them away to the medical personal. Maybe they can use it in emergency. Who knows. But it is not any help to the regular person.

I expected a more subtle view of the veins with this, it work, not saying it doesn't but it takes a bit to get a hang of it, and it depends on the skin color as well, the darker the skin the harder to see it becomes, because the veins look as a black shadow.

Love it

It’s a red flash light-that’s it. It does NOT illuminate veins or vessels
