Velano Vascular
Velano Vascular is transforming the inpatient experience with PIVO a breakthrough needle-free blood collection device. PIVO addresses the fear, pain, and anxiety associated with traditional venipuncture blood draws while improving practitioner safety, and providing hospitals with a smarter financial solution for vascular access. Hospital blood draws are consistently under appreciated and overlooked…until now Blood draws are such a standard and common component of healthcare delivery, we tend to overlook the trauma, risk and waste that they can create. While the results inform 70% of all clinical decisions, there has been little innovation in this procedure or related technologies in decades.

About Us
More compassionate care exists for Kelli and her son Jack. Velano was borne out of a caring physician’s response to an inquisitive patient’s frustration. In 2012, a dedicated team of experienced healthcare change agents came together to upend the way we draw blood in hospitals.
Through research, planning and human-centered design, the foundation was set for an innovative family of medical technologies. By 2014 the PIVO needle free blood draw device became a reality through clinical collaborations and patient and practitioner input. The FDA cleared PIVO in 2015, opening the door to pilots, evaluations, studies and more.
For Jack, and others who experience endless needle sticks before the age of 10, Velano’s innovations are viewed as “game changers.” Few technologies in healthcare are consistently seen as better for patients, better for practitioners, and better for hospitals.
The philosophies and principles by which we operate are grounded in making a positive difference. We’re motivated by doing the right thing…the right way. We stand up for human-centered care, championing the cause to deliver a new global standard of care for patients. We are passionate about improving people’s lives, and about delivering the highest quality products. We’re unafraid to challenge the status quo, respectfully. We are confident that the impossible is possible, and we’re aiming to deliver compassion in practice.
