Our Story

In 2014, our founder, Matthew Morin, BSN, RN, was working night shifts on a busy med-surg unit. Like many nurses, he faced the all-too-common challenge of finding veins in low-light conditions with limited staff and resources. When his unit finally purchased a high-end vein finder, it made a huge difference—but it came at a steep cost.

 As Matthew began researching the technology behind these devices, he discovered a frustrating truth: most vein finders on the market use transillumination, a safe and effective technique—but they’re priced anywhere from $350 to over $3,000. That meant many nurses, phlebotomists, and caregivers were left without access to a tool that could make their job easier and patient care safer.

 That didn’t sit right with him.

 Matthew believed that just like every nurse carries their own stethoscope, they should also be able to carry their own vein finder. No more waiting for the one shared device. No more guesswork when every stick counts.

 In 2015, he founded Easy-RN, LLC, and launched the Illumivein Vein Finder—a powerful, affordable solution designed to put proven technology directly into the hands of those who need it most.

 Since then, Illumivein has helped over 30,000 healthcare professionals across the globe—from hospitals to home care settings—perform with more confidence, accuracy, and ease.
