ISTANBUL (AA) – A Turkish firm has developed a device for the treatment of varicose veins.

According to INVAMED Medical Device Technologies, varicose veins are veins that are swollen and enlarged, and they can be seen just under the surface of the skin in the colors of blue, green, red, or purple.

There are various factors that can increase the risk of developing varicose veins, including family history, being overweight, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle, and standing for extended periods of time.

INVAMED offers a non-surgical varicose treatment with "LaserBLOCK Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)" device in the treatment of venous insufficiency that causes varicose veins.

“In the EVLA method, the laser fiber is inserted into the vein by entering the Safena Magna vein from the wrist or knee level under ultrasound guidance. After the location of this fiber is confirmed by ultrasound, local anesthesia is applied throughout the vessel. The laser fiber is withdrawn and the entire vessel is closed by applying laser energy. The closed vessel is gradually reduced and destroyed by the body,” the firm said.

Since the vein is permanently removed after LaserBLOCK treatment, there is no possibility of recurrence of the disease. Furthermore, patients can continue their daily activities on the same day after this treatment, as it does not cause any surgical scars, stitches and any scars visually.

For this reason, LaserBLOCK is one of the most preferred methods in the treatment of varicose veins, with high patient satisfaction.
