Vein visualization has become a critical part of modern clinical practice, especially in improving puncture accuracy. At the heart of this technology lies the type of light source used. The two most common options on the market today are laser and near-infrared (NIR) light. But when it comes to safe...

How Infrared Light Enhances Vein Detection An infrared illuminator emits near-infrared (NIR) light, which penetrates the skin and is absorbed differently by blood vessels compared to surrounding tissues. Since hemoglobin absorbs more NIR light, veins appear darker in contrast—making them easie...

Vein access is a fundamental step in countless medical procedures—from blood draws to IV infusions. Yet, for some patients, locating a suitable vein is far from easy. Light for Finding Veins—particularly infrared and near-infrared technologies—is improving accuracy, efficiency, and...
