About the company |
Headquartered in the biotech district of Memphis, Tennessee, Luminetx Corporation discovers, develops, and commercializes bioscience technologies. Luminetx' premier product, VeinViewer, is now available and in use nationwide.
There are inventions, and then there are revelations, like the VeinViewer Imaging System by Luminetx.
The VeinViewer by Luminetx™ uses a combination of near-infrared light and patented technologies to image vascular structures, thus allowing physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals to clearly see accessible vasculature (or lack
thereof) in real time, directly on the surface of the skin.
By imaging the vasculature, clinicians have the ability to visualize the location of the target area regardless of a patient's age, body type or skin tone. During prototype development, the device was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the most innovative medical inventions of 2004.
The VeinViewer incorporates DLP™ Technology from Texas Instruments.
But don't just take our word for it
" The VeinViewer technology has transformed our ability to deliver compassionate care. With VeinViewer, we have reduced not only the number of sticks, but also the levels of stress associated with multiple sticks for the practitioner, the patient and the patient's family."
Joel A. Saltzman, M.D.
Medical Director, Anesthesia
Le Bonheur Children's Hospital
“When we as healthcare practitioners talk in altruistic terms of patient satisfaction and nursing confidence, the benefits of the VeinViewer are impossible to quantify. However, the overall economic benefit to hospitals and clinics with regard to decreased time, lower material costs and a substantial reduction in the number of needles needed for venous access is very real and quantifiable.” David M. Pennington, RN, BSN, MBA
