Diagnosing Buerger’s Disease through Vein Finders

Buerger’s disease (also known as thromboangiitis obliterans) affects blood vessels in the body, most commonly in the arms and legs. Blood vessels swell, which can prevent blood flow, causing clots to form. This can lead to pain, tissue damage, and even gangrene (the death or decay of body tissues).

The exact cause of Buerger’s disease is unknown, however, tobacco use is strongly linked to its development. Researchers believe that chemicals in tobacco may irritate the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to swell.

The following are the most common Buerger’s disease symptoms:

• Fingers or toes that appear pale, red, or bluish.

• Cold hands or feet.

• Pain in the hands and feet that may feel like burning or tingling.

• Pain in the legs, ankles, or feet when walking—often located in the arch of the foot.

• Skin changes or small painful sores on the fingers or toes.

During the diagnosis process, your doctor may perform a simple test called the Allen’s test to check blood flow through the arteries carrying blood to your hands. Needless to say that a highly professional device is needed to accurately determine the blood velocity and flow and followingly help in choosing the right treatment.

For such a delicate task, our tech-medical team highly recommends the Portable Vein Detector SIFVEIN-5.2, which tends to be the first choice of our phlebotomists for making this procedure easier.

The Vein viewer SIFVEIN-5.2 is a medical observation tool. This Vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 has a different wavelength; to allow the absorption of light by oxyhemoglobin in surrounding tissues and vessels. After photoelectric conversion and image processing, the information is filtered to display veins on the screen.

Clear enough, then this infrared vein finder is used to find veins at ease. Observe search for subcutaneous superficial blood vessels and for assisted puncture. Such as assisted venous diagnosis like what initially happens during Buerger’s Disease’s diagnosis and intravenous injection too.

Furthermore, the portable vein finder SIFVEIN-5.2 detects subcutaneous superficial veins by infrared light from research of development patent technology. Displaying in situ images on the surface of the skin. In order to help medical staff check vascular orientation and distribution, which is exactly needed in this case. Further, the enhanced model has various colors, which can improve the clarity and identification effectively.

Accordingly, this medical vein finder helps intern nurses to complete injections in order to solve the problem of injection difficulty for people of obesity, with small blood vessels or too dark skin, etc. whose veins are hard to find.

Viewing all these advanced features, doctors will no more find any vein locating problems while performing Allen’s test since vein images will be displayed in a crystal clear way ensuring, as such, a highly accurate diagnosis and so an adequate treatment followingly. No need to hesitate anymore, the vein detector SIFVEIN-5.2 is available to facilitate both doctors’ work and patients’ lives.
