VenaSeal closure system is one of the most advanced, safe and effective procedures for early and late-stage varicose veins. Unlike other treatment options, this non-invasive and painless procedure provides instant and long-lasting results.

Plus, VenaSeal has a success rate of 99%, with a near-zero recurrence rate. The best part is VenaSeal complication rate is also negligible because it doesn’t affect the surrounding structure and tissues.

What is the VenaSeal procedure?
VenaSeal closure system is a non-surgical and most effective treatment for varicose veins. VenaSeal procedure involves delivering a medical VenaSeal glue to seal or close the varicose veins. This is done through an ultrasound-guided thin catheter.

Once the affected veins close, the blood redirects to healthy veins. Over time, the inactive veins are absorbed in the body and disappear.

Once the VenaSeal procedure is done, the catheter will be removed. You'll be advised to rest for a few minutes. After some time, you will be discharged from the hospital. The whole procedure takes around 20 to 30 minutes.

After discharge, you can walk, drive and do other basic activities without wearing compression stockings.

VenaSeal procedure is a good option for small and large varicose veins and all patients, including elderly high-risk patients.

Step-by-step VenaSeal procedure

Step 1: An interventional radiologist will insert a thin needle-sized catheter in your affected vein using the ultrasound. Ultrasound guidance helps in accurate insertion and better mapping of the affected veins, especially those that don’t appear on the skin’s surface.

Step 2: A specialised medical VenaSeal glue will be inserted into the affected veins through the catheter.

Step 3: The doctor will apply pressure on the affected area to adhere the walls of varicose veins with the help of the VenaSeal glue.

Step 4: The catheter will be removed and a bandage will be placed on the prick site.

Benefits of the VenaSeal procedure

• Just one needle prick
  Unlike other options which need multiple pricks or surgery, VenaSeal treatment requires just one needle prick per vein.

  VenaSeal glue therapy uses a highly precise, least invasive approach and medical glue, resulting in no pain and discomfort. Plus, there is no need for sedation/anaesthesia. This means no anaesthesia-related side effects.

  Since it uses VenaSeal glue to adhere the veins together, there is no need for extra healing. Thus, eliminating the need for compression stockings or socks post-procedure.
