KT-10 – Professional device for visualizing veins

The KT-10 is a modern vein locator utilizing near-infrared (NIR) light technology, which enables quick and precise visualization of blood vessels without contact with the patient's skin. The image of veins is displayed directly on the skin surface, facilitating intravenous punctures and blood sampling.

The device is particularly useful in children, the elderly, obese patients, after chemotherapy and wherever access to veins is difficult.

                                       KT-10 Medical Vein Scanner

Vein scanners (vein locators, venous visualization systems) are medical devices that assist medical personnel in quickly and precisely locating blood vessels beneath the skin's surface. Using near-infrared (NIR) technology, the device visualizes veins in real time, displaying their images directly on the patient's skin.

Their main goal is to increase the effectiveness and safety of procedures requiring access to the venous system, such as blood sampling, cannulation, or intravenous drug administration.

Why is vein location so important?

Venous access is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures worldwide. Although many patients have clearly visible veins, there is a significant group of individuals in whom locating a suitable vein can be difficult or even problematic.

In such situations, medical staff often have to perform several puncture attempts, which can lead to:

• patient pain and discomfort,
• stress and fear of subsequent procedures,
• the formation of bruises and hematomas,
• damage to blood vessels,
• extension of the treatment time,
• increasing the costs of the procedure,
• decreased patient satisfaction.

The vein scanner helps reduce these problems by quickly pinpointing the best place to insert a vein.

Use during blood collection

One of the most common uses of vein scanners is to assist in the collection of blood for laboratory tests.

By visualizing the course of vessels, staff can:

• find the right vein faster,
• reduce the number of failed attempts,
• reduce the pain felt by the patient,
• shorten the time of the entire procedure.

This is particularly important in collection points, hospitals and laboratories that perform a large number of tests every day.

Support during the insertion of intravenous lines

Inserting intravenous cannulas and venous catheters requires precise needle placement within the vessel lumen. Vein scanners help staff select the appropriate vein based on:

• diameter,
• mileage,
• depth of location,
• availability.

This translates into greater effectiveness of the first injection. First Stick Success Rate) and a lower risk of having to repeat the procedure.

Assistance in the treatment of patients with difficult venous access

The greatest benefits of using vein locators are observed in patients whose vessels are poorly visible or difficult to feel.

This group includes, among others:

Children and babies

In the youngest patients, veins are very thin, and the stress of the procedure makes puncture difficult. Visualizing the vessels allows for shorter procedure times and fewer attempts.

Elderly people

With age, vessels become more fragile, less elastic, and often less visible. The scanner helps select the appropriate puncture site and reduces the risk of vein damage.

Obese patients

A layer of fatty tissue can make it difficult to assess the position of vessels. Infrared technology allows for the visualization of veins located deeper beneath the skin.

Oncology patients

Repeated administration of medications and chemotherapy often leads to deterioration of veins. The scanner allows for the identification of veins suitable for further procedures.

Patients undergoing chronic treatment

People who regularly undergo dialysis, infusions, or frequent laboratory tests often have a limited number of vessels available. Accurate visualization helps conserve veins and reduce damage.

Benefits for the patient

The use of vein scanners translates directly into patient comfort and safety:

• less pain during injection,
• fewer failed attempts,
• reducing the formation of bruises and hematomas,
• shorter procedure time,
• less stress and anxiety,
• a greater sense of professionalism in medical care.

Benefits for the medical facility

For hospitals, clinics and collection points, vein scanners mean:

• higher effectiveness of the first injection,
• saving staff time,
• reducing the consumption of disposable materials,
• improving the quality of patient care,
• increasing patient satisfaction,
• supporting the work of less experienced staff.
