The LaserBLOCK Varicose Vein Laser System by Invamed is engineered for endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) of varicose veins, offering a targeted, minimally invasive approach to venous insufficiency. By delivering precise laser energy via a specialized fiber inside the vein, LaserBLOCK effectively occludes the diseased vessel and redirects blood flow to healthier venous pathways. This technology reduces patient discomfort, shortens recovery time, and provides excellent clinical outcomes compared to traditional surgical options.
Uses a laser fiber introduced through a small percutaneous entry to deliver thermal energy along the incompetent vein segment, leading to controlled vein closure without extensive incisions.
High-purity fiber design and radial or bare-tipped configurations promote even energy distribution, ensuring consistent vein wall shrinkage and lower risk of perforation or focal overheating.
Immediate vein occlusion and minimal surrounding tissue damage allow for faster mobilization, reduced postoperative pain, and a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional vein stripping.
Typically performed under ultrasound guidance, permitting physicians to track fiber position and vein response, adjusting settings to accommodate anatomical variances and maximize procedural success.
Ideal for great saphenous vein (GSV), small saphenous vein (SSV), or other superficial vein treatments where reflux contributes to varicose vein formation, complementing or replacing conventional surgical or foam sclerotherapy.
- Veins too tortuous or large for effective fiber navigation
- Active infection in the target area
- Patient comorbidities that preclude tumescent anesthesia or standard endovenous procedures
