VenaSeal closure system and ClosureFast procedure
Important safety information
Intended use/indications
The VenaSeal closure system (VenaSeal system) is indicated for use in the permanent closure of lower extremity superficial truncal veins, such as the great saphenous vein (GSV), through endovascular embolization with coaptation. The VenaSeal system is intended for use in adults with clinically symptomatic venous reflux as diagnosed by duplex ultrasound (DUS).
Contraindications
Separate use of the individual components of the VenaSeal closure system is contraindicated. These components must be used as a system. The use of the VenaSeal system is contraindicated when any of the following conditions exist: previous hypersensitivity reactions to the VenaSeal™ adhesive or cyanoacrylates, acute superficial thrombophlebitis, thrombophlebitis migrans, acute sepsis.
