Varicose veins are veins that are twisted and enlarged. Any superficial vein can
become varicose, but the veins in the legs are the most commonly affected. This 
is due to the fact that standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the
lower body’s veins.

Indeed, varicose veins and spider veins — a common, mild variation of varicose veins—
are primarily a cosmetic concern for many people. Varicose veins can cause aching
pain and discomfort in others. Varicose veins can sometimes lead to more serious
problems.

Varicose veins may not cause any pain. Signs a person may have varicose veins include:

·         Veins that are dark purple or blue in color

·         Veins that appear twisted and bulging; they are often like cords on your
legs

Approximately 23% of US adults have varicose veins. If spider telangiectasias and
reticular veins are also considered, the prevalence increases to 80% of men and 
85% of women. Generally more common in women and older adults, varicose veins affect
22 million women and 11 million men between the ages of 40 to 80 years.

There’s no way to completely prevent varicose veins. But improving the circulation
and muscle tone may reduce the risk of developing varicose veins or getting additional
ones. The same measures people can take is to treat the discomfort is to see their
doctor/phlebologist.

Moreover, medical ultrasound scans are currently the most widely used imaging technique
for vascular disease diagnosis. It is frequently used as a varicose veins examination.

r has numerous advantages, ranging from reducing puncture complications to increasing
patient satisfaction.

Doctors can now see blood flow in real-time using an Ultrasound Scanner, which is
completely digital and high intensity focused and can provide both qualitative and
quantitative data. It is safe to say that without this device, modern phlebology
would not exist, and the excellent results we are now seeing with endovenous techniques
would not have been possible.

The Mini Linear Handheld Ultrasound Scanner (SIFULTRAS-3.5) is used to image the
body’s blood vessels at frequencies of 10MHz / 12MHz / 14MHz and depths of 20mm55mm.
It provides detailed information that aids in the confirmation of the diagnosis 
and pattern of venous disease, as well as the selection of the most appropriate 
treatment option.

The [SIFULTRAS-3.5](https://sifsof.com/product/linear-handheld-wifi-ultrasound-scanner-10-12-14-mhz-sifultras-3-5/)
has the significant advantage of allowing the phlebologist to monitor the effect
of each injection while ensuring the safety of all adjacent structures.

In conclusion, the mini linear ultrasound scanner can detect vein anatomy and flow
characteristics. It can aid in the sclerotherapy of veins that are not visible to
the naked eye by providing needle guidance and increasing patient safety. It also
allows for needle guidance and visualization of deep and superficial venous structures.
