This device makes accessing a vein practically fool-proof. The long, slender tines corral the vein, holding it snuggly in place and prevents the vein from ‘；rolling’；. This will reduce the number of missed attempts and reduce the number of needle sticks to the patient. The slight arc of the apparatus allows the health care professional temporarily occlude the vein in lieu of a tourniquet by simply rocking the device back and applying pressure. By rocking the device forward and reducing the pressure blood is allowed to flow free again.
