Endovenous Laser Treatment (ELT)

Endovenous laser treatment (ELT) is a minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins. Commonly performed by a phlebologist, interventional radiologist, or vascular surgeon.

Endovenous laser treatment treats varicose veins using an optical fiber that is inserted into the vein to be treated, and laser light, normally in the infrared portion of the spectrum, shines into the interior of the vein.

This causes the vein to contract, and the optical fiber is slowly withdrawn. Some minor complications can occur, including thrombophlebitis, pain, hematoma, edema, and infection, which can lead to cellulitis.

Which vein finder is the best for ELT?

The doctor can use a Vein Finder for this procedure to successfully perform this operation. Being used on the skin, the Vein Finder produced a projection of the venous map on the patient’s skin or the screen, providing the doctor with information about the right vein to insert the optic fiber into.

For instance, SIFVEIN-1.1 which is Precise enough to detect capillaries within 1 mm thickness, provides exact information about the thickness and location of blood vessels without distortion.

By using this device, the doctor can assure a fast workflow, along with the puncture success rate and patient satisfaction.
