WE HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOU!

 

 

Evaluation of venous disease is painless, quick and easy. Dr Gideon van Wyk, Christelle de Bruin and Rene Gerber (both sonographers) at Vein Solution at Flora Clinic and Stellenbosch, will perform a simple non-invasive test called a venous duplex (ultrasound) as a vein mapping to diagnose the problematic vein segments or segment.

 

Next, we will tailor a treatment plan specific to your anatomy and desired outcome. The first line of therapy includes conservative options such as leg elevation, and compression stockings. Conservative therapy may initially help ease the pain of varicose veins but will not provide definitive treatment. If conservative treatment fails, treatment of the underlying problem can be offered and is covered by most Medical Schemes.

 

There are currently several minimally-invasive office therapies available. Endovenous radiofrequency (EVRF) ablation is used to close the saphenous vein and eliminate reflux. The TIRS (Terminal Interruption of the Reflux Source) is a new technique to heal most venous ulcers in 4 to 8 weeks.

 

Important: The first screening is free.

Your medical aid will only be charged if the procedure was done and there is a pre-authorization number.
