VenaSeal™ is a treatment option for some patients with varicose veins. Treatment involves delivering a medical adhesive (cyanoacrylate) into the affected vein through a small catheter, and applying pressure. Dr Freeman uses ultrasound guidance and local anaesthetic to perform the procedure in his Cairns Clinic. Most patients are able to return to their usual daily activities soon after the procedure, including driving. Dr Freeman can provide advice in relation to whether or not your varicose veins can be treated with VenaSeal™.
Not all patients are suitable for this treatment. Suitability is determined by duplex ultrasound assessment. As with all procedures there are risks, which will be discussed with you before treatment.
