Preemies and newborns have small and fragile veins, making it difficult to draw blood or insert an IV or diagnostic device with the first puncture. Current illumination tools available are either expensive, bulky or not completely effective. Developed by a neonatologist, Astodia uses the latest generation of high-powered LEDs to provide clear views of even the smallest vessels in premature and small infants, reducing the number of needle sticks required.
Astodia utilizes red and yellow wavelengths individually to accommodate different patient sizes and vein depths. The yellow light is for viewing smaller veins closer to the skin surface, while the red light illuminates deeper targets. The LEDs are adjustable with different gradients of brightness, for clear vein targeting at various tissue densities.The small illuminator is lightweight, with rounded edges, and can be held under the patient's extremities without moving the patient out of the incubator. The wand is gentle on the baby's skin. Automatic safety features ensure that the patient is never exposed to an uncomfortable temperature.
