Description
The proposed technology is a simpler and safer method for treating varicose veins of the lower extremities. The device employs endoscopic technology to clip the origin of the saphenous vein shut under duplex ultrasound guidance. Then the distal saphenous vein is obliterated with foam sclerotherapy. This technique offers significant advantages over existing technologies, including lower cost, lower risks, faster treatment time, and less trauma.
