The Design Challenge -
Traditional venipuncture requires clinicians to accurately locate veins while maintaining sterility, but a single practitioner cannot easily hold a handheld illumination device like the AccuVein AV400 while simultaneously performing a needle stick. To be truly effective, the technology requires a highly maneuverable, tip-resistant, hands-free mobile support system that allows for seamless, single-handed device docking without interrupting patient care.
The Design Solution -
Designed by Studio Backs in collaboration with Function Engineering, the AccuVein Wheeled Floor Stand solves these clinical hurdles by transforming the handheld tool into a seamless, hands-free medical accessory. Built with a stable base and smooth-gliding wheels, the stand features a counterbalanced arm attached by a friction-based ball joint for precise, multi-angle micro-positioning that keeps the selected vein highlighted. The centerpiece of the design is a spring-loaded "quick cup" cradle that allows single-handed device insertion and removal, simultaneously securing and charging the device via integrated internal wire passages. Once a vein is located, this system completely frees up the clinician's hands to perform procedures with maximum efficiency and confidence.
