¿What is VeinViewer | Christie Medical?
VeinViewer® is a non-invasive clinical tool designed to improve peripheral vascular access, allowing the healthcare professional to visually locate the location and orientation of blood vessels directly on the patient's skin, leaving both hands free to carry out their work.
VeinViewer® uses a near-infrared wavelength that, combined with its patented technology, achieves a vascular map location by projecting it onto the skin in real time. This wavelength does not emit any type of harmful radiation and the projected image is green since it is the color best captured by the human eye and contrasts on any skin tone.
There are several factors that can make venipuncture difficult, including:
✅ Dehydration.
✅ Hypertension.
✅ Size and fragility of blood vessels.
✅ Skin tone.
✅ Edema or fatty tissue. -

About VeinViewer | Christie Medical
✅ Pre-Access:
- The most trivial vein is not always the best choice for access. VeinViewer® provides physicians with information to assess and make a better decision.
- Locates veins that are clinically relevant for a peripheral procedure, up to 10 and 15 mm deep.
- Uses the VeinViewer® image with TrueView accuracy (reconstruction software included) to make a better decision in catheter gauge selection.
- Determines the location of valves and bifurcations and avoids complications with these structures.
- Finds the optimal access point in the vessel that is sufficient to optimally utilize the catheter length.
- Assesses blood filling rate in real time with visual feedback before line placement and during site review.
✅ During Access:
- Unpredictable factors can make catheter advancement challenging and may require restarting the procedure.
- Real-time image visualization (Df² system), exclusive to VeinViewer®, allows you to react and adjust the technique to help ensure a successful outcome immediately.
- Navigate the lines and curves during treatment.
- Visualize the displacement of the vein.
- Allows you to see the displacement of any fluid within the vein and thus be sure that we are inside it.
✅ Post-Access:
- Assessing vessel patency with VeinViewer® after catheter placement can help avoid potential complications and improve the patient experience.
- Allows you to detect a hematoma and potentially avoid infiltration.
- Correct peripheral placement avoids having to use a central line. -
