    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Context:

    • Varicose vein disease affects a significant portion of the population, necessitating effective and minimally invasive treatment options.
    • Current vein extraction methods may have limitations in terms of efficacy and patient comfort.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel saphenoextractor designed for the surgical treatment of varicose veins.
    • To compare the performance of the new device against established vein extractors.

    Summary:

    • The proposed saphenoextractor consists of a flexible volute-shaped conductor, a string-stylet, a removable handle, and a set of olives.
    • The device is used by guiding the conductor through the vein lumen, introducing the string, withdrawing the conductor, and then extracting the vein using the handle and olive.
    • Successful preliminary trials were conducted on 105 patients with varicose veins.

    Impact:

    • The new saphenoextractor demonstrates clear advantages compared to existing devices for varicose vein treatment.
    • This innovation has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery in vascular procedures.
