The ClosureFastâ„¢ procedure uses radiofrequency energy or heat to close the diseased vein, which redirects blood flow to healthy veins, relieving symptoms.
THERMAL VEIN CLOSURE
Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
Local anesthesia along various points of the leg
Less pain and bruising than laser treatment1
Faster recovery time than laser treatment1
Compression stockings needed for at least one week after procedure2
Over 2 million patients have been treated with the ClosureFast procedure in over 100 countries around the world.
HOW IT WORKS
The ClosureFast procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.
Using ultrasound, your physician will position the catheter into the diseased vein through a small opening in the skin.
The small catheter delivers heat to the vein wall, causing it to shrink and the vein to seal closed.
Once the diseased vein is closed, blood will reroute itself to other healthy veins.
