The adhesive agent used in this treatment (cyanoacrylate glue) has been specially formulated for use inside the body.
To ensure precise delivery a catheter is inserted into the diseased vein under the guidance of an ultrasound.
Next, the VenaSealTM dispenser gun delivers approximately 0.10 cc aliquots per trigger pull through the catheter into the vein.
Upon contact with the blood the adhesive immediately bonds with the intima and compression is applied to seal the vein. Once the malfunctioning vein has sealed blood is immediately re-routed to neighboring healthy veins.
