Veinlite PEDI2®
For Pediatrics
In clinical trials, the first attempt success rate was significantly higher when using Veinlite than the Standard of Care (93% vs 72%).
The Veinlite PEDI2 is a clinically proven pediatric vein finder that simplifies and improves venous access in children ages 0-17. PEDI2 uses side transillumination to make the veins more visible and accessible. It enables healthcare providers to quickly and accurately locate suitable veins for IV access in pediatric patients. Doing so helps reduce time, frustration, and discomfort associated with traditional techniques for finding small or faint veins.
Healthcare professionals can use Veinlite PEDI2 to achieve 100% vein access success in children and eliminate multiple failed IV attempts.
Kit Includes
- Veinlite PEDI2®
- 2 AAA Alkaline batteries
- 25 disposable plastic covers
- Carrying case
Tip: Purchase disposable covers with your Veinlite PEDI2®.
93% First-Stick Success Rate
Higher than near-infrared and standard of care (72%) — backed by clinical studies.
Class A Device
Device is HSA registed as a Class A Medical Device
Built-In Vein Stabilization
Gentle pressure anchors the vein in place, prevents rolling, and widens the vessel — acting like a built-in tourniquet.
Works on All Skin Tones
Veinlite performs equally well regardless of skin tone or pigmentation.

No Training Required
Ready straight out of the box. Apply a plastic cover, turn it on — done in 10 seconds.
Less Pain for Patients
Fewer failed attempts means less anxiety, less tissue damage, and a better overall experience.
Fraction of the Cost
Starting at $860+ vs. $5,000+ for near-infrared alternatives — with no ongoing maintenance costs.
Trusted & Certified
FDA registered since 1999. ISO 13485 certified. CE registered 2025. No compromises on safety or quality.
See Through, Not Just Onto
Veinlite illuminates tissue from below — veins appear as dark lines within the skin. Near-infrared devices only project an image onto the surface, making depth harder to judge and accuracy harder to guarantee.
Veinlite PEDI2® Disposable Plastic Covers
- Single pack contains 25 Veinlite PEDI2® disposable plastic covers.
- 10-pack contains 250 Veinlite PEDI2® disposable plastic covers.
FAQs
Why is a pediatric-specific vein illuminator necessary?
Children have smaller, more fragile veins obscured by adipose tissue, making IV access significantly more challenging than in adults. Studies show pediatric first-attempt success rates are only 39-73%, and children with DIVA scores ≥4 have >50% chance of first-attempt failure. The PEDI2’s smaller profile is specifically designed for pediatric anatomy.
How does PEDI2 reduce trauma and anxiety in pediatric patients?
Children experience significant pain and anxiety during venipuncture, and multiple attempts are particularly traumatic. Research shows parents rate pain as a major concern, and procedural stress can have lasting psychological effects. PEDI2 increases first-attempt success, reducing both physical and emotional trauma.
What age range is the PEDI2 most effective for?
PEDI2 is designed for ages 0-17, but it’s particularly valuable for infants and toddlers (especially 6-12 months) who clinicians identify as most challenging. The device works excellent on the hand, foot, and scalp veins commonly accessed in infants, as well as forearm and AC veins in older children.
Can your team provide a demonstration?
Yes, we can arrange a product demonstration to help your team understand how the product works, its key features, and how it can support vein visualisation during procedures.
Why does the PEDI2 have a smaller profile than other models?
Pediatric hands, feet, and limbs are significantly smaller than adults. The compact PEDI2 design allows better positioning on tiny anatomical structures, making it easier to illuminate small vessels in confined spaces like an infant’s hand or the dorsum of a small foot.
Can PEDI2 help reduce the need for scalp vein access?
Often, yes. While scalp veins remain an option, many providers prefer to avoid them due to cosmetic concerns and parental anxiety. PEDI2 makes peripheral hand and foot veins more visible, often allowing successful access at these preferred sites and reserving scalp access as a last resort.
How does PEDI2 support family-centered care?
Parents are deeply distressed watching multiple IV attempts on their children. Studies show this affects family satisfaction and trust in the care team. By improving first-attempt success, PEDI2 reduces parental anxiety and supports the family-centered care model that builds trust and cooperation.
Does PEDI2 work on children with darker skin tones or obesity?
Yes. These are documented risk factors for difficult pediatric IV access. PEDI2’s transillumination technology works regardless of skin pigmentation and helps visualize veins beneath subcutaneous fat—two of the primary challenges in modern pediatric patient populations.
How does PEDI2 support the "two-stick rule" in pediatric care?
Most guidelines recommend no more than 2 attempts per clinician before seeking assistance. PEDI2 maximizes your chance of success within those attempts by helping you identify the best vessel before needle insertion. This protects children from excessive attempts while respecting evidence-based protocols.
Is PEDI2 suitable for neonatal units?
While we designed the NEO specifically for neonates, PEDI2 works well for older infants beyond 8 weeks and throughout childhood. For the smallest neonates, we recommend our NEO model which uses through-the-body transillumination optimized for newborn anatomy.
