Blood Access Through A Small Cut, Age 1 And Over

Used when a vein cannot be reached with an ordinary needle stick, this makes a small incision in the skin so the vein can be seen and entered directly. Blood is then drawn or a line placed under direct view rather than by blind puncture. This version applies to patients aged one year and older.
