cermaVEIN

Treatment for often painful and unsightly varicose veins involves shutting down defective veins and rerouting the blood to nearby healthy veins. For the most prevalent type of varicose vein, the greater saphenous vein. the standard of care is endovascular thermal ablation, whereby the vein is heated from the inside, boiling the blood and sealing the vein closed. But nstead of using RF or laser energy to heat the vein by inserting a catheter with a guidewire, cermaVEIN has found success with simple steam ablation, which avoids boiling the blood and does not require a guidewire.
