Award Winning Design
Scout Veinfinder, an Patient Safety Technology Design Competition recognized medical device, addresses the critical challenge healthcare professionals face when locating and accessing patient veins.
By integrating advanced vein visualization technology with an ergonomic design that enables two-handed operation, Scout empowers nurses and students to perform venipuncture procedures with greater confidence and efficiency.
This solution reduces patient discomfort and provider stress by minimizing failed attempts, particularly benefiting those with difficult-to-locate veins.
