FLEBOGRIF - a set for venous insufficiency treatment
Set for venous insufficiency treatment is a medical device intended for the treatment of venous insufficiency of the lower limbs using a technique called mechano-chemical ablation (MOCA).
Varicose veins treatment method
Venous insufficiency (varicose veins), i.e., characteristic widening of peripheral veins, is
a common problem affecting even half of the population over 50 years of age. There are many treatment options for lower limb varicose veins, such as compression stockings, surgical treatment, and minimally invasive treatment, including laser treatment or non-thermal methods such as MOCA.
Mechano-chemical ablation of varicose veins
MOCA with the use of the set for venous insufficiency treatment device is based on inserting a catheter with radially arranged blades into the inefficient saphenous vein or small saphenous vein. During the procedure, the catheter moves inside the vein. The blades irritate the inner lining of the vein. At the same time,
a sclerosing substance is injected. The combination of both techniques (mechanical and chemical) increases the effectiveness of the procedure, i.e., obliteration of varicose veins. The procedure is basically painless and is performed under local anesthesia (without tumescence). Immediately after the procedure, patients are mobilized and discharged home.
The set Flebogrif consists of:
Catheter 6F
Needle 18G
J-type guidewire 0.035
Introducer sheath with dilator 6F x 7 cm
Three-way stopcock
2 syringes 5ml Luer-lock
The catheter consists of two coaxially cooperating parts:
internal - designed to be a lumen for the guidewire and to deliver the foamed sclerosant
external - with length markers every 1 cm (starting at 10 cm from the distal end).
The catheter is equipped with a cutting elements consisting of five retractable, branching arms arranged circumferentially designed to scratch the inner wall of the vein.
