A breakthrough in the treatment of varicose veins: The next generation of RF catheters for saphenous vein reflux

In a major development, VNUS Medical Technology introduced its advanced RF catheter system, ClosureFAST, which received FDA approval in 2006 for treating superficial venous reflux. This innovative device offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures, providing faster recovery and fewer complications.

ClosureFAST works by delivering radiofrequency energy to the affected saphenous vein, effectively heating and closing it within just 3 to 5 minutes. The system is designed with temperature control technology that ensures the vein wall is treated safely, reducing the risk of damage, pain, or post-treatment swelling. This feature makes it a more comfortable option for patients compared to older methods.

Clinical trials have shown impressive results, with over 70 catheters achieving complete closure immediately after treatment. Only one case showed partial reopening after three days, highlighting the high success rate of this procedure. These findings suggest that ClosureFAST is a reliable and effective solution for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency.

As medical technology continues to evolve, innovations like ClosureFAST are helping to transform patient care, offering safer, quicker, and more efficient treatments for venous diseases. This advancement marks an important milestone in the field of vascular medicine.
