Ultrasound-guided glueing of veins (Venaseal)
What is Ultrasound-guided glueing of veins (Venaseal)?
Similar to ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, we use a fine needle and catheter to inject a solution into the problematic veins.
In this instance, we use VenaSeal, a glue-like substance that causes the veins to stick together and collapse permanently, preventing blood from flowing through it.
This helps in reducing the pressure and build-up of deoxygenated blood in the legs that would otherwise pressurise and stain the skin.
What do we use Ultrasound-guided glueing of the vein (Venaseal) for?
Ultrasound-guided glueing of the vein is used to treat Varicose Veins.
We also offer Venaseal through our treatment centre at Sydney Specialist Vein Center.
