What is the Glue ablation procedure?

Glue ablation is a procedure in which a small amount of specially designed medical glue is applied to seal or close the offending vein. It is a safe and very effective treatment that greatly enhances quality of life.

How does the Glue ablation procedure work?

There is medical glue called Vena Seal, a form of specialized adhesive that mends the walls of the veins together and diverts blood flow to healthy veins. As time progresses, the dormant veins will be absorbed by the body and fade away.

Because varicose veins are not always visible on the skin's surface, ultrasonography will also be used to guide this procedure and mark up the veins that need to be treated. Your doctor will apply the medical adhesive via a catheter.

What should you expect before, during, and after the procedure?

Here are some things you expect before, during, and after your procedure.

Before the procedure

• Consultation: The patient should be thoroughly consulted on how the procedure will be performed, what to expect in terms of cost, and the expected outcome by a surgeon.
• Preparation: Preparation is usually minimal. The patient may be asked to avoid certain medications and wear loose clothing.

During the procedure

• Comfort Guaranteed: Local anesthetic decreases the discomfort.
• Duration: The overall process takes from thirty minutes to an hour to complete.
• Patient Awareness: The procedure has often been described as painless or at worst only slightly uncomfortable, and the patient remains awake.

After the procedure

• Quick mobilization: The patient is encouraged to walk and resume their activity levels gradually.
• Check-Ups: Follow-up for check-ups to ensure that the vein is closed properly.
• Gradual Improvement: Apparent improvement in symptoms and appearance begins to show in the weeks and months that follow.
