Technology
The principle of Endotherme is based on the thermal effect of the laser, which consists in 4 steps:
- Conversion of light into heat
- Transfer of the heat to the vessel wall
- Thermochemical effect on the tissue components of the vessel wall
- Destruction of the vessel wall.
Advantages
The endovenous laser treatment is effective, safe, quick and painless. This technique is lighter than the traditional surgery:
- Local or locoregional anesthesia
- No hospitalization, ambulatory
- No bruises
- No downtime: fast recovery
- No post-operative effects: shower possible straight away, no pain
The Endotherme™ 980 is used with a distale fiber of 600µm: more information here
