Of course I'm open to discuss my idea with you guys, and it's true I wasn't sure where to start so I thought it best to hear from the people who know biochemistry best. So working on the ambulance, I've noticed one major flaw with emergency medicine and it's IV Starts. Pediatric, bariatric, geriatric and long time drug users make it very hard if not impossible to start IV's on when it's critical that we do get an IV to give fluids or medications. I thought to my self that if we could see where the vein runs then it would make the job of the paramedic, nurse or doctor much easier and allow us to see exactly where we need to guide the needle to enter the vein. Just like cleaning the area with an alchohol prep pad, I want to create something that is in the same form and size as an alchohol pad that when rubbed on the area of skin, has a reaction to where it would actually turn the vein line a different color such as black on the outside of the skin so that we can see where the vein is and where it runs so we can follow it with the needle. Thanks for listening and let me know what you think.

Hello all, I am 24 y/o and work for American Medical Response, Monterey CA, on the ambulance. I am looking for a Biochemist who would be interested in discussing an idea I have for a new medical invention. Thank you for reading and please let me know if your interested.
