How long is each treatment cycle using the ClosureFast catheter?

The ClosureFast catheter is utilized in endovenous thermal ablation therapies for treating venous reflux disease. Each treatment cycle with this catheter lasts for 20 seconds. During this time, the catheter delivers controlled and consistent energy to the vein wall, which facilitates effective closure of the affected vein.

This specific duration is crucial as it allows for sufficient thermal energy to be applied to ensure that the desired effect is achieved—sealing the vein while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This precision in timing contributes to the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, ensuring that patients experience optimal outcomes with minimal discomfort. Understanding this aspect of the treatment cycle is essential for sonographers and healthcare professionals involved in venous treatments.
