Executive Summary
Venousonics hopes to be the first company to launch a completely non-invasive technology for treating varicose veins, and eventually smaller veins as well. It is delivering highly-focused ultrasound through the skin to induce cavitation. The ensuing microbubbles explode and destroy the vein wall, resulting in vessel closure. The Israeli company aims to provide fast, effective and pain-free relief of venous reflux.
