ECO varicose veins therapeutic unit is original innovation. ECO designed microwave radiator to be the apparatus that could be directly punctured into blood vessel for intracavitary coagulating treatment; changed the disadvantages of traditional varicose vein surgery like big wound and over bleeding; changed open surgery to minimally invasive surgery with advantages of multi-points shift ablation, simple operation and complete damage.
Treatment Options of Lower Limb Varicose Veins
Endovenous varicose vein treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that uses RF, laser or microwave to cauterize (burn) and close abnormally enlarged veins in the legs, a condition called varicose veins.
Main Symptoms:
Aching pain
Swelling
Skin irritation or sore (ulcers)
Discoloration
Endovenous Microwave Ablation
Principle
Using ultrasound guidance, the catheter is inserted through the skin into the vein and positioned within the abnormal vein. Antenna is inserted through the catheter and the tip of the antenna is exposed by pulling the catheter back slightly. Local anesthetic tumescent is injected around the abnormal vein with ultrasound guidance. Microwave energy is applied as the catheter is slowly withdrawn.
