ATOVEN-BMP-Endovenouse treatment

ENDOVENOUS LASER TREATMENT

Endovenous laser treatment is an ultrasound-guided procedure which is simple to perform even in a day-case unit or 'office' location. Its success rates appear to be as high for surgical ligation and striping while it has several distinct advantage as a procedure:

-Minmally invasive procedure with a single tiny entry point near the knee so minimizing the risk of scarring and post operative infections

-Tumescent local anaesthesia is used thus eliminating the risk and expense of general anaesthesia.

-Rapid recovery with reduced post-operative pain will mean the patient can resume normal activities immediately after treatment

Minimal complications have been seen with endovenous laser treatment showing it to be safe as well as highly effective At 1470nm, the ATOVEN offers the optimum wavelength for fasrt and comfortable endovenous laser ablation. Absorption of light at this wavelength occurs in water in the hydrated endothelial and sub-endothelial cells of the vein wall. The heat generated by absorption of laser energy contracts and collapses the vein wall resulting in complete vessel occlusion and halting the formation of varicosities. Higher than 1320nm in the water.
