ClariVein
ClariVein mechanically damages large, twisted, and tortuous veins in the legs. The smaller veins in the face, hands, and feet have dense arterial connections, making them unsuitable for ClariVein.
What is Clarivein?
ClariVein is one of the most effective treatments for varicose veins and underlying chronic venous insufficiency. In some cases, ClariVein is also deemed more effective than other vein treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation and laser ablation.
ClariVein, also known as mechanochemical ablation, combines mechanical damage and chemical medication to close the diseased veins. After a specialized catheter with a rotating tip is inserted into the diseased vein, the rotating wire damages the vein’s walls while delivering a sclerosant medicine. This seals the vein shut from the inside.
Most other vein treatments necessitate multiple injections or incisions, which can be slightly painful or uncomfortable. However, ClariVein only involves one incision, making it far more comfortable and painless. Furthermore, ClariVein causes minimal bruising after the procedure.
The ClariVein Procedure
ClariVein is an in-office outpatient procedure that concludes within 15-30 minutes with no downtime. The vein doctor numbs the skin on the inside of your leg and makes a small incision. The incision is an entry point for a specialized catheter driven under ultrasound guidance. Once the ClariVein device is in place, it mechanically damages the vein while delivering a sclerosant medicine to seal it shut. The accumulated blood reroutes into healthier leg veins. You can resume your daily activities immediately with minimal post-treatment discomfort and bruising.
