Abstract: The present invention discloses a near-infrared (NIR) based vein visualization system designed to assist healthcare professionals in performing accurate, efficient, and safe venipuncture procedures. The invention is based on the principle that deoxygenated hemoglobin absorbs near-infrared light more effectively than surrounding tissues, thereby creating a distinguishable contrast that enables clear visualization of subcutaneous veins in a non-invasive manner.
