VascuLife™ by Alma Surgical is changing the endovenous treatment standard by providing the safest and most effective varicose vein solution available. VascuLife features a unique robotic pull-back fiber system as well as a 360 degree radial emitting diode- allowing for complete and accurate treatment of great and small saphenous veins (GSV, SSV), yielding outstanding clinical results.
Robotic pullback device – Game-Changing Unique Safety
Benefits:
Time-saving adjustable pullback speeds: Adjustable for 1, 2, 3, or 4 mm/sec based on vein diameter
Automatic “Pull & Cool” model: New treatment modality allowing for pre-set “cooling” breaks at 1 cm intervals
Robust pullback mechanism: Actively overcomes vein locking
Vein collapse protection: Ceases pullback action and initiates a “standby” mode when it cannot resolve a pullback setback
Cost savings: Compatible with the standard grey ‘Venflon’ accessory; no need for dedicated introducer
Technology:
Optimal Wavelength
VascuLife uses the 1470nm laser wavelength- the ideal wavelength for peak water absorption in soft tissue. This allows for optimal ablation of the vein wall with less bruising than other wavelengths which target both water and hemoglobin. It also demonstrates a lower re-canalization rate than alternative venous therapies such as radiofrequency. The wavelength is particularly suited for endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) using tumescent techniques.
The 360° Advantage
The unique Angel™ fiber design with 360° emission delivers laser energy directly into the venous wall in a circumferential pattern. This approach ensures homogenous ablation, immediate sealing of the vein and faster wound healing, with reduced risk of perforations, pain and bruising. Once the afflicted vein is sealed off, blood is re-routed to other healthy veins.
Angel fibers can accommodate different vein sizes, with 400 and 600 micron fiber diameters, and are compatible with the standard Venflon accessory.
Full Visualization and Control:
Online visualization and control software provides automatic, continuous and complete real-time feedback during the procedure, allowing physicians to control the fiber movement within the vein and monitor the pullback speed as well as the distance accomplished.
