MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124441 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'dual-mode venostimulator for enhancing phlebotomy efficiency and donor comfort.'
Inventor(s) include Rhema Menorah J; S Rajesh Kumar; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Dual-Mode Venostimulator for Enhancing Phlebotomy Efficiency and Donor Comfort Difficult venous access remains a major challenge in phlebotomy, blood donation, and therapeutic procedures, often leading to repeated attempts and donor discomfort. The present invention introduces a Dual-Mode Venostimulator, integrating mechanical and thermal/vibratory stimulation into a single device. This innovation is designed to enhance vein prominence, reduce needle-related anxiety, and improve overall procedural efficiency. The device employs controlled thermal stimulation to promote superficial vasodilation and a vibration module to increase venous visibility while distracting patients from needle pain. In one embodiment, it is embedded in a blood pressure cuff, aligning with venipuncture sites and working synergistically with cuff inflation, Safety features regulate temperature and vibration intensity, while sterilizable or disposable contact surfaces ensure hygiene. This dual-modality device is compact, portable, and user-friendly, offering improved venous access, fewer failed attempts, and greater donor comfort compared to conventional singlemode methods."
