The VenaSeal Sapheon Closure System is a unique, minimally invasive treatment that uses a safe-for-the-body medical glue to quickly and effectively treat venous reflux disease.

It treats the underlying source for varicose veins. Using ultrasound, we will guide a tiny catheter through a small access site in the skin and into the diseased area of the vein. Next, the VenaSeal dispenser delivers a very small amount of medical glue to close the vein. Once the affected vein is closed, blood is immediately re-routed through other healthy veins in the leg.

Unlike other treatments, VenaSeal does not require anesthesia to be injected into the leg via multiple needle sticks (tumescent anesthesia).Patients can return to their normal activities right after the treatment. Unlike heat-based procedures, with VenaSeal there is no risk of skin burns or nerve damage. VenaSeal usually does not require any post-treatment pain medication or uncomfortable compression stockings.

The short term results are promising and are similar to endovenous laser and radio-frequency ablation (ClosureFast)

Our clinic participate in the European Multicenter Study (E-scope) . Long term results has to be awaited
