Closure of varicose veins
laser-assisted treatment of venous insufficiencies.
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) has become an established method of vein treatment in recent years. With our newly developed systems of diode lasers and state-of-the-art fiber technology, we provide the perfect tools to start or expand the use of this innovative treatment method.
Laser treatment of veins not only improves haemodynamics, it also reduces or eliminates congestion symptoms or trophic disorders, such as ulcers. The benefits for the patient speak for themselves: endovenous laser therapy can achieve much better cosmetic results than conventional procedures (vein stripping), has few side effects and enjoys very high acceptance among patients.
Treatment with innovative lasers, such as the linos:1940 or the dios:1470 from intros, can be performed on an outpatient basis and under local anaesthetic.
Endovenous Laser Therapy
Technology and mode
of operation
Endovenous laser therapy uses ultrasound monitoring to insert a laser fiber, such as the intros Infinity Fiber, into the punctured vein, positioning it just before the end point of the vein (magna-crosse) and then injecting a tumescent solution. Then while retracting the fiber, laser energy is emitted and this homogeneous irradiation specifically closes the vessel wall. It remains permanently closed. The subcutaneous infiltration of the tumescent solution ensures patients do not feel any pain during the treatment. Overheating and local side effects are avoided.
Endovenous treatment is usually considered gentle and painless. With endovenous laser therapy, several veins can be treated at the same time.
- No general anaesthetic and no hospital stay
- No large wounds or cuts
- Significantly less postoperative pain
- No damage to the surrounding tissue
- No residue in the vessel
- Excellent cosmetic results
- High acceptance among patients and patient satisfaction
