Vein Care (ClosureFast™)
New Minimally Invasive Treatment for Varicose Veins
Orange City Area Health System is now providing the ClosureFast™ treatment for varicose veins. This minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure uses gentle radiofrequency energy to close diseased veins, improving comfort and appearance with little downtime.
Patients experiencing any of the following may be good candidates for the ClosureFast™ procedure:
• Spider veins
• Varicose veins
• Leg aching or heaviness
• Leg fatigue
• Ankle or leg swelling
• Itching or burning sensations
• Restless legs
• Skin discoloration
• Leg ulcerations
• Eczema related to vein disease
Step 1: Thermal catheter is placed
Using an ultrasound, your physician will position the catheter into the diseased vein through a small access site.
Step 2: Local anesthetic is applied
A series of injections numbs the area around the vein.
