Characteristics The LINA-1470 diode laser is the perfect tool for the treatment of venous insufficiency (varicosis) and is the alternative to traditional vein stripping. Due to the between five and ten times higher absorption in the blood and vessel wall compared to 810–1320 nm wavelengths, the LINA-1470 – combined with radial emission fibres – is superbly suited to minimally invasive and effective vascular surgery with little tissue damage. Fields of use: Endovenous vascular surgery Benefits Effective and safe treatment No catheter necessary, precise positioning Minimally invasive, quick procedure Consistent obliteration of the vessels Avoid local side effects by injecting tumescent fluid Hardly any post-operative pain or swelling Good cosmetic results No need to stay in a hospital – procedure performed on outpatient basis Quickly resume normal activities
