The objective is to design and develop a vein-detection device that utilises the transillumination approach to detect veins to assist in venepuncture applications. The device is envisaged to be operated by trained medical personnel and to be universally applicable across all demographics. Some of its more novel features include; applicable for single-use, very low-cost materials, a new design for more effective usage.
A new re-design of the vein-detection device with minimal footprint. It is envisaged to be ultra-thin with similar capabilities to its commercial counterparts. The device has a sufficient power source without being tethered. A polychromatic combination for optimised penetration and contrast.
The usability is also improved by enabling a single staff to operate it instead of two which could save in time and resources.
