Physical Vein Models to Quantify the Flow Performance of Sclerosing Foams

Physical Vein Models to Quantify the Flow Performance of Sclerosing Foams

Foam sclerotherapy is clinically employed to treat varicose veins. It involves intravenous injection of foamed surfactant agents causing endothelial wall damage and vessel shrinkage, leading to subsequent neovascularization. Foam production methods used clinically include manual techniques, such as...
