VenaSeal

Here at Renew Vein Centers, our team is committed to providing our patients with the most up to date treatment methods for their ailments. When you’re dealing with varicose veins or spider veins, VenaSeal can be used to correct the problem! This innovative medical adhesive can seal off the defective vein, stopping blood from pooling or flowing backward.

VenaSeal is a medical-grade glue that is used to seal off problematic veins. A small incision will be made so a catheter can be inserted into the affected area. Once it is in place, the adhesive is released through the catheter. The goal is to seal off the damaged vein so blood can be re-routed through functioning ones. One the adhesive takes hold, the area begins to harden until it is absorbed by the body, eliminating the varicose vein.
