The InvisiGrip™ - Advances in Technology
Dr. Saines has always kept ahead of the curve with the best technology available in treating varicose veins. The InvisiGrip™ Vein Stripper is designed to remove the long saphenous vein by inversion stripping from knee to groin, without distal incision. The result is no scar at the knee. The invagination method that InvisiGrip facilitates reduces trauma to the patient, allowing for quicker recovery. This vein stripper is cosmetically advantageous and less traumatic for patients, and is faster for the surgeon.

TriVex System - Advanced Varicose Vein Treatment
The TriVex System offers new, safer, more effective treatment to people who suffer from Varicose Veins. It was developed by Smith & Nephew, Inc., Endoscopy Division, in conjunction with, a leading general surgeon.
Many patients resist treating their varicose veins because they are afraid of the pain and recuperative time involved with surgery. The Trivex System offers patients a minimally invasive treatment that lets them walk out of the hospital with few scars and be virtually pain-free within a couple of weeks.
The TriVex System is designed for use during a patented, clinically tested surgical
technique for varicose vein removal called
transilluminated power phlebectomy. (Transilluminated means
that light is passed through the skin and phlebectomy is the
medical term for vein removal.) In this procedure, the surgeon
views the vein using a transilluminating light and removes it
with a small powered surgical device.
While traditional varicose vein surgery
is a "blind procedure," meaning that surgeons cannot always
see the vein or confirm removal, The TriVex System's unique
illumination feature allows the surgeon to quickly and accurately
target and remove the vein and then visually confirm its complete
extraction. This new process makes varicose vein removal more
effective, complete and less traumatic for patients, by reducing
the number of incisions required to perform the procedure
and the duration of the surgery. Studies suggest that this
method not only reduces the pain associated with varicose
vein removal but also reduces the potential post-operative
infection.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes less than an hour. In one study comparing results from minimally-invasive surgery to those obtained with the older technique of hook phlebectomy, the minimally-invasive procedure cut operating time in half, reduced the number of incisions by 50 to 75 percent, required less anesthesia and caused less post-operative pain than the older sugery.
The TriVex System offers a much safer and more effective means to treat varicose veins as oposed to outdated traditional methods. For more information about the treatment of varicose veins and the TriVex System call (310)823-7314 or contact us.
