We have a few patients a year that are extremely hard or impossible to stick.
We will get out the vein finder but usually not very helpful. So not to torture
these diabetic patients with more than my limit of sticks oral FA is a great
option. We use the Optos California and get amazing images.

Our department is looking to purchase a vein finder for those seemingly
impossible patients. I can't believe how expensive they are and need to make
sure that they actually work on the difficult patients. Easy patients are easy
and I don't need a $5,000 device for them.. Do these devices work well for the
obese, dialysis patients, severe diabetics etc.
