  2. Near-infrared vein finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_vein_finder

    Nurses and other healthcare practitioners can easily pass IV cannula and other parenteral dosage with the help of a vein finder. Luminetx introduced a device called VeinViewer in 2006, [2] and Accuvein introduced a product called Accuvein in 2008. [3] [4] The machines in the United States cost about $15,000 as of 2015. [5]

  3. Venipuncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venipuncture

    An elastic tourniquet used to temporarily restrict blood flow. The tourniquet distends the veins, making them more palpable and visible.. There are many ways in which blood can be drawn from a vein, and the method used depends on the person's age, the equipment available, and the type of tests required.

  4. Angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

    An X-ray is used to guide the catheter to the area of blockage. A dye is inserted through the catheter to make the places of blockage visible. When the catheter is in position, a thin wire with a balloon is guided to the place of blockage. The balloon is inflated to widen the artery, allowing the blood to flow freely.

  5. Venous access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_access

    Venous access is any method used to access the bloodstream through the veins, either to administer intravenous therapy (e.g. medication, fluid), parenteral nutrition, to obtain blood for analysis, or to provide an access point for blood-based treatments such as dialysis or apheresis.

  6. Vein matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein_matching

    Vein matching, also called vascular technology, [1] is a technique of biometric identification through the analysis of the patterns of blood vessels visible from the surface of the skin. [2]

  7. Near-infrared window in biological tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    Because scattering has weak dependence on wavelength, the NIR window is primarily limited by the light absorption of blood at short wavelengths and water at long wavelengths. The technique using this window is called NIRS. Medical imaging techniques such as fluorescence image-guided surgery often make use of the NIR window to detect deep ...

    Today we feature a study that makes good on science envisioned by H.G. Wells over 100 years ago in "The Invisible Man". Applying a food-safe dye that absorbs light onto the skin of a mouse makes ...

  9. Venous translucence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_translucence

    The erythrocytes absorb more light because they are oxygenated. Considering that aspect, we can deduce that venous blood has a light absorption different from arterial blood (in which sanguine viscosity is greater, due to the higher concentration of CO 2. In that sense, venous blood has a greater ability to reflect light.
