This video described the function and uses for the VeinViewer. It is a device that uses infrared light to find veins just beneath the surface of the skin. Then it displays them on the skin in the same location that the veins actually are so that doctors and nurses can take blood, or more likely perform a procedure.

The cost of a treatment using the VeinViewer can be quite costly, but will allow procedures to be performed with a higher level of certainty and accuracy. The device also allows for medical staff to find the feeder veins to problem areas which is a great advantage that was nearly impossible before.

The VeinViewer is a fairly new technology so it is not available in all hospitals yet, but the hospitals that are technically advanced will likely have one or will soon get one. This is a great product for people with small or hard to find veins
