Wouldn’t this be better for speed so the vein doesn’t slip out of the way of you go to slowly ? I’ve never done this before so idk

You're actually supposed to stabilize the vein with your hand while inserting so this technique seems more prone to failure. It certainly only works with a butterfly needle but it just seems unnecessary.

I have veins that "roll" away when they try to stabilize them. I wonder if this would work better on me
