How VenaSeal works
A thin catheter delivers small amounts of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive into the vein. It closes the vein walls and redirects blood through healthy veins. Because no heat is used, local anaesthesia is needed only at the catheter entry site. VenaSeal is a Medtronic technology certified for use in Ukraine.
How it works
The procedure, step by step
1
Ultrasound marking
The doctor identifies the affected vein with ultrasound and plans the procedure.
2
One puncture
Local anaesthesia only at the entry site, not along the entire vein.
3
Adhesive delivery
The catheter delivers measured amounts of medical adhesive under ultrasound guidance to close the vein.
4
Go home immediately
No compression stockings in most cases and few restrictions; go home the same day.
Benefits of the method
- No compression stockings after the procedure
- Anaesthesia only at the entry site for minimal discomfort
- Few restrictions after the procedure
- Ideal for summer treatment
- Certified Medtronic technology
When it is used
- Varicose veins affecting a saphenous vein trunk
- Preference for summer treatment without compression stockings
- Concern about higher-volume tumescent anaesthesia
- An active lifestyle without time restrictions
The doctor determines whether this treatment is suitable after an ultrasound assessment.
Medtronic VenaSeal system
A Medtronic technology certified in Ukraine. It can close up to 100 cm of vein, which is often sufficient to treat both legs when clinically appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about VenaSeal
Why are compression stockings often unnecessary after VenaSeal?
The medical adhesive closes the vein without applying heat to surrounding tissue, so compression stockings are not needed in many cases. They are required when VenaSeal is combined with sclerotherapy of tributary veins. The doctor will provide individual advice.
Is medical adhesive safe inside a vein?
VenaSeal uses a certified medical adhesive that is used internationally in phlebology. It remains permanently within the closed vein; allergic reactions are uncommon but possible and will be discussed during assessment.
Can VenaSeal be performed in summer?
Yes. It can be convenient in warm weather because compression stockings are often not required afterwards.
When can you return to your usual activities?
Usually almost immediately. The treatment generally involves few post-procedure restrictions, so most people return to an active routine the same day.
