ClariVein™ (MOCA)

The Clarivein® technique involves the use of a mechanical device along with sclerotherapy injection of the vein to be treated. The Clarivein® infusion catheter system has a specialized rotating dispersion tip that allows for better, more effective, 360 degree coverage of a sclerosant chemical to treat the incompetent vein. It is two to three times thinner than the devices used in radiofrequency and laser ablation, and it requires just one tiny entry point in the skin. ClariVein is performed using a local anesthetic with ultrasound visualization of the veins. The procedures take less than 30 minutes.

At Yorkville Vein Clinic, we utilize a unique micropuncture technique to insert the MOCA™ catheter, which minimizes patient discomfort, and has led to a 98% technical success rate in performing the procedure.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Opris will be able to determine if you are a potential candidate for this exciting new procedure. To learn more about spider vein treatment, please call us or contact us to make an appointment.
