Description
The AccuVein AV300 device (AccuVein LLC, New York) was initially developed as an aid to venepuncture. It is a portable, handheld device that emits infrared light which is absorbed by haemoglobin, illuminating the position of superficial veins. In this article, we describe a novel application of this device in providing a map of superficial veins to aid vein graft harvest and other plastic surgery procedures.
