InvisiGrip^TM Vein Stripper—History, Characteristics, and Outcomes in Single-center Experience

Abstract

Although new strategies such as foam sclerotherapy and endovenous laser ablation have been introduced for surgery of the incompetent great saphenous vein, the stripping is still performed as a standard and established treatment. Recently, a new device, named InvisiGrip^TM Vein Stripper, has been developed for the surgery. We have first introduced InvisiGrip^TM Vein Stripper in Japan and have reported our initial experience. In this review, we briefly describe the charecteristics and outcomes of the surgery with InvisiGrip^TM Vein Stripper in our varicose vein center.
