The TransLite Veinlite PEDI2 is a hand-held battery-powered transillumination device for visualizing veins and superficial blood vessels in pediatric patients.
The PEDI2 utilizes the patented1 transillumination technique known as side-transillumination and a patented2 orange color LED light. A ring of bright light from 10 orange and 4 red LEDs is aimed through a clear plastic LED Window [1] and focused below the skin surface and towards the ring’s center. The focused light creates a volume of illumination, with the central focus acting as a virtual light source under the skin. This technique achieves uniform illumination of a small region of tissue anywhere on the body.
The patented orange light is selected because of high absorption in venus blood. The red LEDs have high penetration in darkly pigmented skins. The combination of the two provides optimum imaging of veins in humans.
