Vein Closure with Biological Glue (VenaSeal® Closure System)

Vein closure with biological glue, known as the VenaSeal® Closure System, is one of the newest and most gentle endoluminal vein surgery methods in the world. It was introduced in 2012, and Latvia was the fourth country in the world where this technology became available to patients.

Unlike laser ablation or radiofrequency methods, VenaSeal is neither a thermal nor a chemical ablation technique. Therefore, during the procedure the vein is not heated and anesthesia is not required.

The Most Advanced and Gentle Method for Treating Varicose Veins: How Is the Procedure Performed?

During the procedure:

• a thin catheter is inserted into the vein;

• a special medical biological adhesive is delivered through the catheter;

• the adhesive seals the damaged vein from the inside;

• over time (approximately within 6 months), the vein transforms into connective tissue and is completely replaced by the body’s own tissue;

• no foreign substances remain in the body.

The VenaSeal® Procedure Is:

• completely painless;

• without incisions;

• without vein heating;

• without risk of nerve damage;

• without bruising (hematomas);

• without skin sensitivity disturbances.
