Background The scarcity of data on the anatomy of Sapajus libidinosus has impeded the execution for appropriate veterinary treatment. The objective of this study was to describe the main peripheral veins of the capuchin monkey, used in venipuncture and indicate the best access route for venipuncture procedures. Methods Ten S. libidinosus corpses were used. The face, neck, chest, and pelvic limb were dissected using surgical instruments to identify and locate surface vessels. Results The main superficial veins identified could be used for venipuncture in capuchin monkey where the external jugular, brachial, cephalic, saphenous, and femoral veins. The veins in the pelvic limb were the most suitable for this purpose, with an un anesthetized subject. Conclusions The femoral vein was shown to be the most suitable for blood sampling and drug administration and the saphenous vein for serum therapy protocols.
