ABSTRACT:
A device (10) and method for cutaneously marking the venous anatomy with an ink. The method comprises selectively locating a portion of the venous anatomy to be marked and coating the skin (20) corresponding to the venous anatomy to be marked with a transmission gel (22). The transmission gel (22) permits a technician utilizing an ultrasound transducer to pinpoint the portion of the venous anatomy to be marked. Device (10) simultaneously clears the transmission gel from the skin (20) corresponding to the portion of the venous anatomy to be marked and marks the open space (24) on the skin (20) with the ink.
