Illumivein Premium Vein Finder New Model FDA Registered

4.5 stars for usefulness 5 stars for affordability 5 stars for safety and ability to disinfect it easily with a wipe or UV box 4.5 stars for advertising (it does provide more visibility in a darker room) 5 stars for reducing anxiety in patients and staff performing the skill As an RN, I can recommend this product and state confidently, you will find veins that are closer to the surface than not, but, you will find usable veins, in all likelihood. I don’t think you would need the glasses that are more expensive nor the fancier equipment in the same category. Would I also palpate for bounce to learn the feel better? Yes, absolutely. But, this is a good tool to keep in your bag, and it doesn’t take a strange type of battery.

I’m so disappointed with the Illumivein Premium Vein Finder. Not only is it completely ineffective, but the design is also weird and inconvenient. To turn it on, you have to turn the button clockwise—why? A simple on/off switch would have been so much better. This odd design makes it feel even more like a cheap gimmick. I tried it on myself, and it was nearly impossible to find veins that weren’t already visible with the human eye. If I can see the veins without this device, what’s the point? The light is weak, and it only seems to work in a completely dark room. In my work setting, where patients are always in bright environments, this tool is utterly useless. After using it, I checked the reviews on Amazon and realized everyone else agrees—this product is a waste of money. I wish I had read the reviews first, because I would have saved myself the frustration and expense. **Do not buy this product!** It’s poorly designed, ineffective, and provides almost no benefits. Save your money and invest in something that actually works. This is one of the worst purchases I’ve ever made.

It doesn’t work well for any any skin of color and really works best with elderly and babies

I'll get right to it.. for around 10 years I've been battling addiction (IV use). Long story short, all my veins are nearly collapsed or no longer visible.. Getting my blood tests done are typically a a nightmare as I get stuck anywhere from 5 to 20 times & these are phlebotomist, RN's, even ICU Nurses who specialize in this and still they struggle. I bought this light hoping I can do myself a favor & find veins to share with whoever is drawing my blood to make it easier on myself. I'll tell you what if you follow directions and sit in a completely pitch back room make sure the light is constantly rubbing your skin trust me you'll be able to find some!! They aren't going to give you a large easy to identify visual like some advertise.. you're going to see a very small short Shadow like line in the fading distance of the light but trust me, it works! 👍 I also have and LIFX smart light that features infrared lighting(which is of course invisible to the human eye) but turning that on in my room also helps tremendously while using this product. I will try to attach pictures, hope this helps

This flashlight works. I wouldn't say it picks up every vein in the arm but you have to really experiment with it and master your technique. It does pick up veins close to the surface. This is the closest thing I've found that assists. I work as a Lab Tech. Even if it works 2 out of 10 times, totally worth it for the two hard sticks. Saves the patient a poke or multiple pokes if the patient is a hard stick.

As a pediatric RN, I have found this to be very helpful with difficult IV starts. The hospital I work for supplies Wee Sights - which I’ve never been super fond of. This light seems much brighter, more durable, better battery life, and more cost effective. It’s only real downside, which may be significant for some, is it is not very ergonomically friendly to use one handed. I’m a big guy with massive hands and have some minor issues with extra squirmy patients. So those with small hands may be at more of a disadvantage. However the performance of the led is fantastic. It’s a single bulb, so I was very skeptical, but it has a lens that seems to magnify the power. After a few months of use, I’ve accessed many veins I would not have otherwise found - even on some adult sized children. Personally, I prefer this over everything I have experience with except for ultrasound.

Do not buy it! It does Not work well at all! Also it’s not a 2 Pack! False advertising!

We bought this for our lab to help with hard sticks to save money on a more expensive vein finder. While it does technically work to show some more veins, it only barely helps and you have to have the light at the perfect angle to really see anything more than you can see with the naked eye. If you have any real need to find veins in a commercial setting, I would not waste time on this because we tried using it for less than a week before deciding to just pull the trigger on something more advanced as it just didn't cut it. I would give it one star, but it did technically work a little, just not to the point where I would think many people would have a use for it.

work well on paediatrics.

Es un producto que compré para facilitarme el encontrarle venas a las personas para canalizarlas, ya que con la luz del sol o luz blanca de las lámparas no es suficiente en personas con venas muy delgadas o imperceptibles a simple vista. Sí funciona el producto de acuerdo con las instrucciones adjuntas al producto. El único inconveniente es que se requiere de alguien más que sostenga la lámpara para no perder la ubicación de la vena. Sin embargo, con cualquier otro producto similar va a pasar lo mismo. Por el costo y que realmente funciona, ésta resultó ser una excelente compra.

Did not illuminate veins

No tiene las cualidades que anuncian.

It's small enough to carry around in your uniform pocket. Works better in the dark.
