and location for venipuncture or other medical procedures.

VeinSight™ vein finder only displays superficial veins, and the depths of the blood
vessel search vary depending on the physical characteristics of different patients.

The reasons for the different search depths include (but are not limited to) the
following: differences in the depth of veins, skin conditions (eczema, tattoos),
occlusion of hair, scars or wrinkled skin, obesity, edema, etc.

may be different from the actual width, but the product can accurately display the
center line of the vein.
