VenaSeal is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins by sealing them shut using a medical adhesive. Unlike traditional methods that use heat or surgery, VenaSeal uses a specially formulated medical glue to close off the diseased vein. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance.
The VenaSeal adhesive is then delivered through the catheter, bonding the walls of the vein together. This effectively reroutes blood flow to healthier veins, while the treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body. One of the main benefits of VenaSeal is that it does not require the use of tumescent anesthesia, reducing discomfort during the procedure.
Additionally, there is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately. VenaSeal is highly effective, with success rates similar to or better than traditional thermal ablation techniques, making it a popular choice for treating varicose veins.
