Endovenous Surgery course
6th February/ 3rd April/ 15th May 2019
Wessex Diagnostic and the Melbury Clinic present a new practical Endovenous Surgery course.
This course is aimed at consultants and higher trainees in vascular surgery as well as other members of the team such as theatre nurses, vascular technologists and ultrasonographers.
It is particularly suited to group attendees who can learn together as a team and identify their individual learning needs.

Topics covered include:
1) How to set up your treatment room
2) Ultrasound image optimisation – knobolgy
3) Preliminary vein mapping
4) Vein access under ultrasound guidance
5) The Seldinger technique
6) Endovenous catheter and laser positioning
7) Administration of tumescent local anaesthetic
8) Adjunctive procedures such as phlebectomy and foam sclerotherapy
9) Demonstrations of Microsclerotherapy for Leg Telangiectasias
10) Working as a team
