Building long-term evidence with high clinical standards
See More Clinical EvidenceThe ClosureFast endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) catheter is intended for endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux. The catheter is provided sterile, and is a single-use, disposable device. This catheter cannot be adequately cleaned and/or sterilized by the user in order to facilitate safe reuse, and is therefore intended for single use. Attempts to clean or sterilize these devices may result in a bio-incompatibility, infection, or product failure risks to the patient.
