Endovenous Laser Ablation Veins Laser Treatment

GoldHealth Medical presents an advanced solution for varicose vein treatment: Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA). This minimally invasive procedure utilizes laser heat to treat varicose veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins naturally. EVLA is most effective on veins that are relatively straight and untwisted.

Unique Features

• Superior Precision: The 1470nm wavelength offers significantly higher absorption in water, minimizing collateral thermal damage around venous structures.
• Enhanced Absorption: At least 40 times better absorbed by water and oxyhemoglobin compared to 980nm lasers, allowing selective vein destruction with reduced energy and fewer side effects.
• Water-Specific Targeting: Efficiently heats endothelial cells with minimal risk of collateral damage, ensuring optimal vein ablation.

Fiber Technology

• 360° Radial Fiber (600um): Provides circular emission, ensuring direct energy deposition on the vessel wall.
• Smooth Insertion: The fiber tip features an extra smooth glass capillary connected to a marked smooth jacket for easy insertion.
• Efficient Procedure: Utilizes a simple procedure kit with a short introducer, reducing steps and procedure time.

Key Advantages

• Circular emission technology
• Reduced number of procedural steps
• Very safe and smooth insertion
• Ideal endovenous thermal ablation with gentle and even laser energy introduction
• Safety markings for optimal control of the pullback process

Product Benefits

• German Laser Generator: Over 3 years lifetime, max 30W output laser energy
• Effective Treatment: Operation under direct vision, closing off tortuous vein clumps
• Outpatient Treatment: Suitable for patients with mild disease
• Reduced Complications: Less postoperative secondary infection, pain, and quick recovery
• Simplified Surgery: Shortened treatment time, reducing patient discomfort
• Aesthetic Results: Minimal scarring after surgery
• Minimally Invasive: Reduced bleeding

Treatment Process

1. Lie down on a hospital bed while imaging methods like ultrasound guide the procedure.
2. The leg is numbed, and a small puncture is made in the vein.
3. A catheter containing the laser heat source is inserted into the vein.
4. Additional numbing medicine may be injected around the vein.
5. The catheter is slowly drawn backward, emitting heat to close off the vein.
6. In some cases, side branch varicose veins may be removed or tied off through small incisions.
7. Pressure is applied to the insertion site to stop bleeding, followed by an elastic compression stocking or bandage.
8. The treatment takes 45 to 60 minutes, allowing same-day discharge.

Applications

• Main Venous Trunks: Great Saphenous Vein (GSV), Small Saphenous Vein (SSV)
• Major Tributaries: Anterior Accessory Saphenous Veins (AASV)
• Endovenous Occlusion: Effective for major varicose veins previously treated by stripping surgery

Treatment Principle

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) involves inserting a laser fiber into the abnormal vein through a tiny incision. The vein is numbed with local anaesthetic, and the laser is activated as the fiber is slowly removed, causing the vein wall to collapse and eventually disappear.

Success and Safety

• Success Rate: 95-98%
• Fewer Complications: Compared to traditional surgery
• Future Expectations: With the addition of EVLA to ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, varicose vein surgery is expected to be performed less frequently.

Customer Feedback

• Pain Management: Temporary soreness or slight swelling can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, subsiding
