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.

C’est sensationnel, car cela ouvre de nouvelles possibilités thérapeutiques en phlébologie […] Sonovein est l’avenir.
Prof. Paolo Casoni, Expert en chirurgie vasculaireCes résultats démontrent que la technologie HIFU de Sonovein totalement non invasive est équivalente aux méthodes de pointe actuellement disponibles. Il s’agit assurément d’une option fiable et viable, comparable à nos traitements traditionnels, tout en offrant d’autres bénéfices aux patients.
