Right Now...
the Rubber Hose & a Thump!
are used to 'dilate a vein'...to...'locate a vein'.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)
tells us there's a BETTER way - the VATmethod.

Vein Access Technologies is introducing the TOURNIQUET REPLACEMENT - for all venipuncture procedures!
NO MORE RUBBER HOSE AND A THUMP!
The new veniCuff and gentle TOUCH will prevent vein damage and rupture by eliminating the tourniquet SIDE EFFECT - the "forced over distention" of the vein.
The veniCUFF is 21cVA approved and is the only venous support system approved to replace the tourniquet.
The external pressure matches the vein's internal pressure - 20 mm Hg.

gentle Touch
The new VATmethod palpation technique for:
Locating (100% of the time, without a vein finder tool, without US, without over distending the vein)
Dilating & (without a Tourniquet, without over distending the vein)
Grading Veins (for a 'healthy' vein; needle size, vein direction and depth)
No more Rubber Hose & a Thump!

There's more to this skill than 'pick up a needle and stick'.
And there's more to this Vein Access Technologies' story than just the veniCuff.
