Vein Finders and Vein Weakness: Venous insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when your leg veins don’t allow blood to flow back up to your heart. Normally, the valves in your veins make sure that blood flows toward your heart. But when these valves don’t work well, blood can also flow backwards. This can cause blood to collect (pool) in your legs.

Venous insufficiency is most often caused by either blood clots or varicose veins.

 These are other possible causes of venous insufficiency :

• Blood clots.

• Varicose veins.

• Obesity.

• Pregnancy.

• Smoking.

• Cancer.

• Muscle weakness, leg injury, or trauma.

• Swelling of a superficial vein (phlebitis)

• Symptoms of venous insufficiency include:

• Swelling of the legs or ankles (edema)

• Pain that gets worse when you stand and gets better when you raise your legs.

• Leg cramps.

• Aching, throbbing, or a feeling of heaviness in your legs.

• Itchy legs.

• Weak legs.

• Thickening of the skin on your legs or ankles.

To be able to accurately locate and diagnose the affected weak veins, a professional vein finder should be used to guarantee a correct diagnosis that would put an end to the failed traditional needle placement attempts.

In this light, SIFSOF, has developed a unique vein finder that satisfies all medical requirements for an accurate diagnosis. The FDA SIFVEIN-5.2 Portable Vein Detector is what it’s called.

The SIFVEIN-5.2 features a substantially adjustable brightness, allowing doctors and nurses to modify the image brightness based on ambient light and the patient’s skin tone, making the vein more visible and accessible. As a result, any potential failed diagnosis, as well as discomfort, worry, pain, and other negative reactions during the diagnostic, are removed.

Phlebotomists can see blood veins to a depth of 10 mm beneath the skin with the SIFVEIN-5.2 vein finder. There’s also a Vein Depth Recognition option, which improves vein depth judging. As a result, the initial venipuncture success rate might be significantly increased.

The venipuncture operation would be significantly easier with the SIFVEIN-5.2 if a vein finder was used. Phlebotomists, nurses, and doctors can help ensure that the treatment process will go well since the diagnosis is accurate enough from the start.
