Veineo® RF catheters
Veineo® is a minimally invasive solution for treating varicose saphenous, perforating or collateral varicose veins quickly and safely using radiofrequency ablation. The key to treatment success: a trio of lumen-free radiofrequency catheters. Besides rendering them practically indestructible, the catheters’ reinforcing internal steel wires ensure crystal-clear ultrasound visibility while maintaining the necessary flexibility to follow tortuous veins—with no need for an additional guide wire. The two larger catheters have markings at regular intervals (every 7 mm) to assist with timing, and all three have a thermal-effect radius of just 3 mm, which prevents damage to surrounding tissue.
Veineo® catheters are available in three sizes, depending on the diameter of the vein to be ablated:
