Clear Vein Center is one of the select few area Vein Clinics that use only the most advanced technology available today-- the VenaCure Never Touch System. Patient satisfaction with the VenaCure system is the highest compared to other systems; producing less pain, bruising, and complications. The reason is simple: The VenaCure closure system uses expensive disposable laser fibers; whereas, the competing systems use reusable laser fibers, which are used again and again on multiple patients

Published studies have shown that these reusable fibers lose their ability to deliver laser energy with each use, becoming less and less effective. At Clear Vein Center we only use disposable SINGLE USE fibers, namely the VenaCure EVLT Never Touch system, which is proven to be safer and more comfortable than competing systems.
