Revolutionary Spider Vein Device
The Nanophlebectomy is a handheld, disposable device developed to injure spider
and reticular veins in a transdermal fashion by piercing the vein and disrupting the layers of the vein
such that the vein coagulates and then undergoes a wound healing response that results in its
elimination. The goal is to disrupt the layers of the vein in the most complete fashion with a
minimum of residual inflammation. Furthermore, this is done is a transdermal fashion, rather than
endovenous, as is commonly done for larger veins with endovenous ablation.
The key differentiating factor between the Nanophlebectomy device and sclerotherapy is that there
is no injection of a sclerotherapy agent, and thus the downside of sclerotherapy is averted. In
particular, like standard phlebectomy, it is expected, that there will be no staining, matting and
potential for ulceration as one sees with sclerotherapy. Furthermore, there is not potential for deep
vein and systemic complications that are of concern with standard liquid and foam sclerotherapy.
