The EVLT procedure uses a 810 nm Diode laser to ablate the great or lesser saphenous veins and to treat venous reflux disease.
The ELVeS system used a 1470 nm radial laser device and accomplishes the same goal in obliterating the saphenous veins.
Cool Touch uses the CTEV™ 1320 nm Nd:YAG Endovenous Laser to obliterate the great or lesser saphenous veins.
