VenaSeal FAQs

What is VenaSeal?

VenaSeal is a minimally invasive procedure in which a catheter is placed into the vein and a medical adhesive is injected to seal off the damaged vein.

Who can benefit from VenaSeal?

Patients who have symptoms like pain, cramping, swelling, burning, itchy sensation, or heaviness in their legs are good candidates for VenaSeal. In addition, patients who present with visible spider or varicose veins may have underlying vein issues which could be treated with VenaSeal.

How is the VenaSeal procedure performed?

During VenaSeal anesthesia is applied to numb the area of the procedure site. A small incision is made on the leg and a small catheter is then inserted into the varicose vein that has venous insufficiency. Using a medical adhesive solution, the vein is sealed off. This procedure is minimally invasive and has a quick recovery time.
