Description
The TransLite Veinlite PEDI is a hand-held
battery powered transillumination device for
visualizing veins and superficial blood vessels
in neonates (0-24 mo). It utilizes the patented*

Veinlite PEDI to uniformly illuminate a small
region of skin and subcutaneous tissue,

shadow. The shadow-free side-transillumination
technique allows better visualization of veins
than any other transillumination method
