VNUS ClosureFAST™ Radiofrequency Catheter

The Next Generation of Endovenous Ablation

ClosureFAST Radiofrequency Catheter

The ClosureFAST™ catheter (VNUS Closure Fast) ablates the vein in 7cm segments with 20-second treatment cycles, resulting in vein shrinkage and occlusion. Data from a prospective multicentre study have shown 97.4% vein occlusion 1 year post-treatment.1

Technological Advances

Only ClosureFAST utilises Segmental Ablation Technology™

  • Allows for rapid and uniform heating of the vein

  • Eliminates the variability associated with a continuous pullback technology

Continuous intra-operative feedback from the RF Generator

  • Helps provide a consistent, safe, and effective treatment

  • Temperature-controlled energy delivery

Enhancements for a simpler procedure

  • No saline drip required

  • Lubricious outer jacket on heating element for easy repositioning between segments

Compatible with VNUS RFGPlus™ radiofrequency generators
