The Closure Procedure
VNUS® Closure® is a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure that treats varicose veins and their underlying cause, venous reflux, with little or no pain. Closure patients can walk away from the procedure and be back to everyday activities – either at home or at work – typically within a day.
 If you experience discomfort, swelling and varicose veins in your legs, you may be suffering from superficial venous reflux disease. Approximately 25 million people in the United States suffer from this condition. Traditionally patients diagnosed with venous reflux would undergo vein stripping surgery. Now, patients can be treated with the Closure procedure -- a minimally invasive alternative to painful vein stripping surgery.
Venous reflux or venous insufficiency develops when the valves that usually keep blood flowing out of your legs become damaged or diseased.
The main treatment alternative is to re-route blood flow through healthy veins. Traditionally, this has been done by surgically removing (stripping) the troublesome vein from your leg. Closure provides a less-invasive alternative to vein stripping by closing the diseased vein instead.
