Placing IVs in veins can be a difficult and painful process, but the Eyes-On Glasses System may soon make the procedure less stressful for both staff and patients.
The Eyes-On System features a head-mounted display that uses vascular imaging technology to let doctors and nurses “see” the veins beneath the surface of the skin. While technology to image veins has been in use for some time, previous iterations required the staff to carry around a separate, stand-alone device. In contrast, the Eyes-On system is self-contained and easier to use, and the head-worn display allows staff to keep their hands free.
According to Frank Ball, Evena Medical President and CEO “Studies have shown that up to 40 percent of IV starts require multiple attempts to locate and access a vein, which not only wastes valuable nursing time but also delays therapy and causes patient discomfort and dissatisfaction.”
