Infant Transilluminator
The traditional method of locating veins by sight and touch can be difficult on babies in the NICU due to the infants’ small size and the delicacy of their veins. However, the design of the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator improves venous access by providing a clear, illuminated view of the venous structures beneath the skin’s surface so clinicians can provide the best care.

Designed to lie flat on a surface to allow the clinician to drape baby’s arm or leg over it for enhanced evaluation.
It can also be held in the palm of your hand with the baby’s limb against it.
Uses two AA alkaline batteries (included) and produces an output light wavelength of approximately 629 nm.
About the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator
Enhanced Vein Visibility
The Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator is a medical device that uses a strong LED light to enhance the visibility of veins throughout the body of neonates. When the device is placed against the skin, the light illuminates the tissues beneath to make veins and arteries easier to identify and access for easy IV insertion.
Safety and Gentleness
Designed with the safety of the neonate in mind, the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator uses light that is safe for their delicate skin, ensuring procedures are as gentle as possible. The emitted wavelengths are approximately 629 nm, which are safe for use on the sensitive skin of infants with little to no additional disruption to the infant.
User-Friendly Design
The Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator is not only effective but also easy to use. You only need two AA alkaline batteries, which are included, to use the device. It fits in the palm of your hand and has a one-handed design to accommodate nurses and doctors. The shape of the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator is also easy to position around the tiny limbs of the infants and is compact for use inside an incubator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator?
The Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator is a medical device designed to improve venous access by enhancing the visibility of veins in neonates. It uses a strong LED light to illuminate veins and arteries beneath the skin’s surface, making it easier for clinicians to identify and access them for procedures such as IV insertion.
Can the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator be used for all neonates?
Yes, the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator is suitable for use with all neonates, particularly those in the NICU where venous access can be challenging due to their small size and the delicacy of their veins.
What makes the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator different from traditional vein finding methods?
Unlike traditional methods that rely on sight and touch, the Wee Sight Infant Transilluminator uses LED light technology to directly illuminate the veins beneath the skin’s surface. This technological approach significantly improves the visibility of veins, making venous access procedures quicker, easier, and more successful.
