Optomeditech Oy Information

Optomeditech Oy developed OptiVein IV cannulation system to increase the first attempt success rate of IV catheter starts and to make the process faster, safer and easier both for the caregiver and the patient. OptiVein system makes veins more perceptible as well as reduces the delay between blood vessel entry and detection of the puncture making insertion more successful. OptiVein system reduces the incidence of IV insertion failures because skin transillumination through OptiVein IV catheter informs the user of the exact moment of penetration of the tip of the needle into the blood vessel. This optical confirmation comes much faster than the traditional observation of blood in the flashback chamber of the needle.
