A reliable, minimally invasive approach to superficial vein excision.
Common techniques for vein removal, including vein stripping and ligation and stab avulsion phlebectomy, present several disadvantages: they are blind procedures that generally require multiple incisions, extended procedural times and possibly repeat surgeries. To address these concerns, Smith & Nephew has developed the three-part TriVex System, a patented, clinically tested system for vein extraction, providing illumination, resection and tumescence.
Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy: The Visual Approach
TriVex is the system to use for transilluminated powered phlebectomy, a technique that brings visualization to varicose vein removal. The TriVex System allows you to accurately target the vein using an irrigated illuminator, quickly ablate it using a powered resector, and visually confirm the vein's removal.
A Straightforward Technique
For patients, the TriVex System may provide the following advantages: less pain, may reduce incisions by up to 50 to 60%, and improved cosmesis compared to hook phlebectomy. For surgeons, the TriVex System offers a straightforward technique that can be quickly adopted to help you treat more patients and build your practice.
