Every phlebotomist hopes to see large, prominent veins that are easily visible just below the surface of the skin. Veins with an elastic (sometimes described as a 'bouncy') quality usually indicate large, healthy veins that are less likely to collapse.

The medial cubital or cephalic veins are the most common veins used in venipuncture. Veins which are fibrosed, fragile or inflamed should be avoided.
