Re: Transilluminator for IV Starts/Lab Sticks

NICU_Nurse you are in luck, I still have the package the flat light came in. I got it at target. It is from Energizer Trim Flex LED. It cost less than $10 before tax. I hope this helps. It works great as a transluminator in starting IVs and doing art sticks. We do all our own IVs and blood draws.

Ah!!! I love it! I love the flexible neck. I am TOTALLY getting one of these.

Thank you so much!!! You just saved me 50 bucks.

I know this is an old post, but I am an industrial designer who is being assigned to design a pediatric vein transilluminator, and I came across this forum while doing some research, and I was just wondering, are there any disadvantages with the ones out there right now? Even the most meticulous observations you can think of can help! Thanks a lot in advance

I'd like it to attach to the baby somehow and still illuminate the vein I want to hit. Sometime I need to hands to stbalize the vein and insert the angiocath.
Maybe something that instead of one circle of light, there is a line of light so I can see a length or vein, rather than one spot.

We have Wee Sights and I think also Vein Viewers...teh HUGE ones. We trialed the little vein viewers (and they are AWESOME) but I don't think we ever got any. Too $$$.
