Abstract

The invention relates to vein mapping devices, systems, and methods. A device, system, and method for printing a vein map onto a patient's skin may include a probe and a printer. The probe may be configured to identify a location of a target vein beneath the patient's skin. The printer may be configured to receive the location and, using the location, print the vein map onto the patient's skin to indicate the location. The vein map may comprise antimicrobial ink printed onto the patient's skin with one or more colors and / or one or more patterns. The vein map may be a two-dimensional vein map or a three-dimensional vein map that indicates the location of the target vein within the patient, a width of the target vein, and / or a depth of the target vein within the patient.

Description

Background technique [0001] Catheters are commonly used for a variety of infusion therapies. For example, catheters may be used to infuse fluids, such as saline solutions, medications, total parenteral nutrition, etc., into a patient. Catheters may also be used to draw blood from the patient. [0002] A common type of catheter is a needle-punched peripheral intravenous catheter ("PIVC"). Other common types of catheters include, but are not limited to, peripherally inserted central catheters ("PICCs"), central venous catheters ("CVCs"), and the like. [0003] As the name suggests, needle-punched PIVCs fit over an introducer needle with a sharp distal tip. The PIVC and introducer needle may be assembled such that the distal tip of the introducer needle extends beyond the distal tip of the PIVC and the bevel of the needle faces away from the patient's skin. The PIVC and introducer needle are typically passed through the skin at a shallow angle and inserted into a patient's bl...
