The Seclusion™ Catheter

What Is BASIS™?

BASIS™ in an acronym that stands for Balloon Augmented Segmental Intraluminal Seclusion

Basically, it’s an endovenous, chemical ablation procedure for the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency, which uses a dual-balloon system (7 cm apart). These two balloons are inflated to isolate (seclude) a specific segment of a diseased blood vessel, remove the blood therein, infuse an FDA approved ablative Agent (sclerosant) for a specified period of time, then remove the sclerosant, and finally, deflate the balloons and reposition the catheter for the next treatment segment of diseased vein. Only 1 needle is required to gain access to the diseased vein.

Endovenous Vein Ablation Market Need

Physicians that provide vein care have been asking for a pain- free, safe, effective, non-thermal, and non-tumescent vein ablation device for the treatment of their patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency disease of the leg. Patients have also been asking for a less painful procedure.
