Diaphanoscope

The ASTODIA® diaphanoscope makes it easy to find blood vessels for reliable venepuncture. Likewise, the ASTODIA® enables the identification of air or liquid-filled structures deep below the skin’s surface.

The ASTODIA® is particularly suitable for paediatrics, especially for premature and newborn babies, as veins and arterial vessels in the extremities can be clearly visualised for venepuncture. The ASTODIA® possesses a yellow and red high-power LED with adjustable brightness: the orange light enables sharp contrast, and the red light increases the depth of penetration into the tissue. The enhancements provided by ASTODIA® make it possible to routinely use transillumination for difficult-to-visualise vascular conditions. When placed in a sterile cover, the ASTODIA® can also be used for procedures such as the placement of central catheters.
