MODEL RELEASED. Varicose vein treatment equipment. Doctor holding a laser sheath (black and white) and laser fibre (white) used in endovenous laser (EVL) treatment of varicose veins. The light from the laser can be seen (centre,red) at the end of the laser fibre. The sheath will be inserted into the affected vein of a patient and the laser will be passed through the sheath into the vein. The laser will then be withdrawn down the vein at a set rate,heating it from within and effectively sealing it as it passes. EVL treatment is non-surgical and is performed as an outpatient procedure,using an ultrasound probe to help the doctor keep track of the position of the laser | |
