Sometimes I love technology.
This is so cool.
I learned about it today.
A vein finder.
So how exactly does vein finder work? not all kinds of these devices use the same technology, but the fundamental principle are pretty much the same.
The fundamental principle of the device is that the Hemoglobin in blood has different light absorption rate than the surrounding tissue . So the device use this difference to identify the veins.Projected near-infrared(NIR) light is absorbed by blood and reflected by surrounding tissue.
