A-Lite Vein Locator
What the source says
Researchers estimate that between 50 and 80% of children coming to hospital require intravenous cannulation - either to administer medicine or draw blood. Skin tone, medical conditions and simple dehydration can greatly diminish vein visibility, and repeated attempts at cannulation can cause trauma and delays, but also scarring and nerve injury.
