VainPal
VainPal is a handheld device that uses near-infrared and multi-spectral imaging to project a clear map of veins onto the skin, even over dense tattoos.

Key Features
- Multi-spectral imaging optimized for tattooed skin
- Real-time vein projection overlay
- Hypoallergenic temporary marking pen (24-hour wear)
- Portable, rechargeable, and sterilizable design
Target Users: Phlebotomists, nurses, and paramedics in hospitals, clinics, and emergency settings who frequently draw blood or place IVs on patients with arm tattoos.
Revenue Model: $799 one-time device purchase + $19.99 per 10-pack of marking pens
