SONOVEIN® is the first and only robotic solution for the non-invasive echotherapy treatment of varicose veins:

From a histological perspective, vein ablation by echotherapy with SONOVEIN and radiofrequency display identical features – with the significant benefit of echotherapy being completely non-invasive.
The high-intensity ultrasound beam (HIFU) is focused on the vein and a standard ultrasound beam controls the accuracy. As the thermal energy is delivered, the vein shrinks and is sealed closed, similar to other endothermal methods – but non-invasively.

Ce fut littéralement une véritable expérience de traitement « walk-in walk-out ».
