Futuremed is pleased to offer Astodia, a vein illuminator designed specifically for premature infants and full-term newborns. Preemies and newborns have small and fragile veins, making it difficult to draw blood or insert an IV or diagnostic device with the first puncture. Developed by a leading neonatologist, Astodia uses the latest generation of high-powered LEDs to provide clear views of even the smallest vessels.
