Researchers develop portable 'vein finder' for faster, more accurate injections
When medics are treating trauma patients, every second counts. Yet bruises, burns, and other physical conditions often make it difficult to locate veins and administer lifesaving drugs or solutions. "Depth a...Researchers show that veins stiffen as we age
As if creaking joints and hardening of the arteries weren't bad enough, a research team from the University of Delaware and the Christiana Care Health System in Newark has now confirmed that even our veins stiffen as we age. "When you are young, your veins are nice and elastic--like rubber bands," William Farquhar, a cardiovascular physiologist in UD's College of Health Sciences, said. "B...Georgia Institute of Technology develops doppler Vein finder
Michael Gray and his research team from Georgia Institute of Technology as developed a new doppler ultrasound which detects veins accurately. The researchers feels that locating veins accurately would avoid unnecessary punctures during injections which causes inflammation and infection. // The new technology gives a 3-D dimensional structure using doppler effect which uses an alternating...Drug Reduces Risk of Clogged Arteries, Veins
The blood-thinning drug fondaparinux (Arixta) nearly halves the risk of potentially deadly deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in people hospitalized with congestive heart failure, chronic respiratory disease and other conditions that increase the risk of these conditions, claims a new study. People treated with the drug were 47 percent less likely to suffer venous thromboembolism...Stockings Effective In Reducing The Effects Of Deep Vein Thrombosis
A latest study shows elastic compression stockings can reduce complications after a blood clot in the leg ,though they tend to be very uncomfortable .// Some of the common complications with deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot, in the leg include swelling, skin discoloration, numbness, chronic pain, hardening of the skin, and leg sores. It has been suggested that elastic stockings coul...Computer System To Predict Deep Vein Thrombosis
Researchers have been successful in developing a computer aided alert program that can predict the deep-vein thrombosis in patients. //There had not been much attempts made to prevent the disease before and the current innovation is one of the first of its kind. The researchers are of the opinion that such a prediction may be able to reduce the frequency of the condition in hospitalized p...ELVeS™ (Endo Laser Vein System)
Description:ELVeS™ (Endo Laser Vein System) from biolitec is a versatile, easy to use & complete system that allows you to treat all conditions resulting from venous incompetence. (ELVeS has FDA clearance to market in USA)....TRIVEX™ System Varicose Vein Treatment
Description:More than 1 million people are diagnosed with varicose veins every year, but a majority of these patients never seek treament and are apprehensive of conventional choices. The TRIVEX* System can offer them an effective alternative to conventional therapies. Traditional varicose vein removal, (stab avulsion or hook phlebectomy), is considered a laborious procedure by many doctors and many...CoolTouch CTEV for Endovenous Ablation of Varicose Veins
Description:The CTEV provides an ideal treatment for endovenous ablation of varicose veins, such as the great and small saphenous veins. The 1320nm wavelength targets water in the vessel wall, not hemoglobin, which means a much more comfortable procedure for patients without post-op bruising or swelling....
