The Closure ® System was developed over a

four-year period to treat superficial venous reflux. This patented technology uses a very small catheter and radiofrequency energy to occlude, or seal shut, the saphenous vein. The physician typically makes a single small incision near the knee and inserts the slender Closure Catheter into the saphenous vein. The catheter is then positioned near the groin, energized and slowly withdrawn, sealing the vein shut. There are no stitches, and most patients return to normal activity within a day or two. If you would like to be evaluated for possible VNUS Closure treatment for your varicose veins, call our office to schedule an appointment.
