Saphenion®: Long-time results of vein glue

Saphenion®: long-time results of vein glue – has been published by us in regular succession for 10 years and aims to compare international publications on the subject with our own experiences and to remain meaningful. Our patients are now very well informed about this therapy method for varicose veins, which has been offered for 13 years.

After 151 months of use, we have so far treated 2207 patients on 4625 saphenous veins – over 1,1 Mio. patients worldwide have now been treated with the vein glue VenaSeal®. In the meantime, we have successfully used the vein glue VenaSeal® to clean the vein system in 67 patients with COVID-19 infection after they have recovered, and have treated 75 patients with ulcera crures of legs successfully.

Saphenion®: Vein glue versus radiofrequency therapy – 7 years comparison

Vein glue versus radiofrequency therapy – 7 years: For more than 20 years now, truncal varicose veins has increasingly been treated endovenously with catheter support. It all began with the rather cumbersome VNUS® Closure process and the easier-to-use linear laser. This was followed in 2006/2007 by the bipolar RFITT® catheter and the VNUS® ClosureFast system as well as the radial laser. However, it should be said that following historical medical truth, endovenous sclerotherapy has been developed and used since 1911. And already in the late 20s, many surgeons in Germany used the gluing technique with sugar solutions. Also, Ferdinand Sauerbruch of the Charitè hospital in Berlin was a friend of this method.

Saphenion®: 7 years experience in sealing veins

Since 8/2012 we use the vein glue at Saphenion. First use parallel to radiofrequency therapy. Meanwhile, more than 95% of our patients choose the glue for the treatment of truncal varicose veins.In the meantime, technical indications have broadened the indications. Now we are treating for recurrent episodes, venous tumors, vein ectasies and aneurysms as well as perforating veins.

Saphenion®: Turning Time at Charité – Elite exchange

Saphenion®: Turning Time at Charitè – The Berlin Charité, Germany’s well-known hospital, was at the same time a center of research, teaching, and further education. It was part of the university, which was given the name Humboldt in GDR times. After the end of the GDR a considerable exchange of management personnel took place in the Charité, the media supplied the accompanying music with Stasi hysteria and scandal stories. The Charité, also in GDR times nationally and internationally a well-known university hospital, now seemed to have been a branch of the MfS and the Politbureau in public perception.

Saphenion®: 121 Monate Klebender Mikroschaum

Saphenion®: 121 Monate Klebender Mikroschaum – es wird die Weiterentwicklung der Mikroschaumtherapie beschrieben. Klebender Mikroschaum ist eine Modifikation des zur Verödungstherapie allgemein eingesetzten Ethoxisklerol – Mikroschaums. Mit dem Erfolg des Venenklebers lag die Idee nah, den Mikroschaum weiter zu entwickeln. Veröden und Kleben simultan ist eine der möglichen Variationen.
Saphenion®: 121 Months Sealing Microfoam – the further development of microfoam therapy is described. Adhesive microfoam is a modification of the ethoxisclerol microfoam generally used for sclerotherapy. With the success of the vein glue, the idea of further developing the microfoam was obvious. Simultaneous sclerotherapy and gluing is one of the possible variations.

Saphenion®: Compression after VenaSeal
