Vein finder devices use near-infrared (NIR) light toilluminate veins, which may not be visible to the naked eye11-14. These devices serve as aninvaluable tool to locate a suitable vein for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion,which can be challenging in some patients due to age, skin color, obesity, or existing medicalconditions15. Near-infrared vein finding technology can be especially valuable to nursingstudents who are learning how to select appropriate veins for IV insertion and are expected toperform PIVC
