Vascular Insights Names Manhattan Dermatologist To Advisory Board

Vascular Insights, a company that designs medical devices for the minimally invasive treatment of spider and varicose veins, has named Manhattan dermatologist Neil S. Sadick to its advisory board.

"We are delighted to welcome these distinguished physicians to our Board," said John P. Marano Jr., co-founder, president, and managing partner of Vascular Insights. "Their insights will be invaluable as we prepare for human introduction later this year."

Varicose veins affect between 75 and 150 million people in North America and Western Europe. Traditional therapy for varicose veins is surgery, but only an estimated one million people per year worldwide are willing to submit to the extensive surgical stripping and ligation, or laser burning, required, at a cost of between $2,500 and $5,000 per leg.
