Trivex® System

TRIVEX® Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy System

Transilluminated powered phlebectomy is a clinically tested surgical technique for varicose vein removal. “Transilluminated” refers to the passing of light under the skin and “phlebectomy” is the medical term for vein removal. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the vein using a small powered surgical device while viewing the vein using a transilluminating light. Clinical studies suggest that this method enables the surgeon to remove veins using a minimal number of small incisions and short operative times, which may result in an easier recovery for the patient with good cosmetic results.1,2
