Dear phlebologists!

A new system for treating varicose veins, the VenaSeal™ System from Medtronic Corporation, is now available in the COR-Medical product line.

The VenaSeal™ system is a minimally invasive therapy in which varicose veins are securely and effectively glued by a medical adhesive.

The VenaSeal™ consists of a delivery system and a special medical adhesive that provides immediate and lasting closure of the vein. The patented catheter is clearly visible under ultrasound, and the viscosity of the glue minimizes adhesive migration during embolization. Long-term rates have demonstrated the vein closure of 94.6% even 5 years after the procedure.

Unlike other therapies, VenaSeal™ eliminates the risk of skin burns and nerve damage that can occur with the thermal method. It also eliminates the need for medication and uncomfortable compression stockings.
