The Angioclinic® Microsfoam

Foam Sclerotherapy are used to shut down diseased veins using a particularly well-tolerated pharmacological substance, or alternatively, biosubstances. While earlier sclerotherapy treatments with liquid active ingredients were not controllable (it was impossible to see which concentration reached where) and often had to be repeated, the foam is much more precisely controllable: Firstly, its distribution can be precisely tracked in the ultrasound image. Secondly, it adheres to the vein wall for a few minutes before dissolving and being excreted. This contact time means that a high effect is achieved even with very low concentrations.

Microsfoams are sclerosing foams with particularly fine bubbles (smaller than 100 microns). Their effect is particularly good. Many doctors are unaware of the full range of conditions that can be optimally treated with it! If a doctor in Switzerland tells you that your vein condition requires surgery, that is absolutely incorrect. Dr. Ragg achieved the goal of completely surgery-free vein therapy as early as 2005!

At the Vein Center Zurich, we offer you very special microsfoam treatments: The microsfoams are physically varied according to Dr. Ragg’s scientific work, depending on the vein situation, e.g., in their stiffness, viscosity, and weight. This gives them unique quality. They are introduced so precisely under high-resolution ultrasound that we speak of “selective microsfoam therapy” speak. This means the foam works exactly as intended. In this way, special applications become possible:

• Varicose veins after previous vein surgeries (even the most severe cases)
• Varicose veins of particular size or length
• Varicose veins with particularly bothersome cosmetic significance
• Reticular varicose veins
• Varicose veins in the genital area
• Varicose veins deep in the leg or abdomen (e.g., after thromboses)
• Varicose veins on the face, chest, arms
• Venous malformations in all body areas
• Hemorrhoids Grade 1 – 3

Furthermore, there are angioclinic® special procedures with a particularly fast optical effect.
