Endovenous laser treatment is an ultrasound-guided procedure which is simple to perform even in a day-case unit or 'office' location. Its success rates appear to be as high as for surgical ligation and stripping while it has several distinct advantages as a procedure
Minimally invasive
procedure with a single tiny entry point near the knee so minimizing the risk of scarring and post operative infections.Tumescent local anaesthesia
is used thus eliminating the risks and expense of general anaesthesia.Rapid recovery
with reduced post-operative pain will mean the patient can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.At 1940nm the ATOVEN offers the optimum wavelength for fast and comfortable endovenous laser ablation. Absorption of light at this wavelength occurs in water in the hydrated endothelial and sub-endothelial cells of the vein wall. Absorption coefficient of 1940nm is higher than 1470nm in the water. The heat generated by absorption of laser energy contracts and collapses the vein wall resulting in complete vessel occlusion and halting the formation of varicosities.
The wavelength of 1940 nm is superior to the therapeutic effect because the water absorption is higher than 1470nm.
The ATOVEN-1 1940nm laser is able to produce similar efficacy to 1470nm lasers with far less risk and side effects, such as praesthesia, increased bruising, patient discomfort during and immediately following treatment and thermal injury to the overlying skin. when used for endovenous coqultion of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux.
