What is ClariVein?
ClariVein is the latest endovascular, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and underlying chronic venous insufficiency. This procedure involves inserting a specialized catheter with a rotating tip into the diseased vein. Once activated, the catheter damages the diseased vein’s walls while injecting a sclerosant medicine, making the vein shut down and get reabsorbed into the body.
What happens during the ClariVein treatment?
ClariVein is performed as an in-office procedure under local anesthesia. Your vein doctor will administer local anesthesia to ensure comfort, following which a small incision is made on the skin’s surface. The vein doctor will insert a specialized catheter with a rotating wire tip into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. Once activated, the catheter’s rotating yip will destroy the diseased vein while injecting a sclerosant medicine to seal it shut. The procedure concludes within 30 minutes, and there’s no post-treatment discomfort or downtime.
What is the ClariVein device made of?
The ClariVein device is a slim, hollow, type-like device known as a catheter with a specialized rotating wire tip. The rotating wire damages the diseased vein while delivering sclerosant medicine. This is a non-thermal technique for vein treatment.
Can ClariVein treat veins on the hands and feet?
