Prepackaged collections of the necessary devices and supplies (either custom or standard) designed for complete ablation (i.e., obliteration) of superficial veins in the lower limbs (e.g., saphenous vein) using a mechanical and chemical procedure. Items in these kits usually include a single-use (disposable) dedicated catheter with cutting devices, needles, and a sheath for vascular penetration. The chemical ablation agent is administered after the mechanical procedure using a syringe. Lower limb vascular ablation kits are mainly used for minimally invasive surgical procedures involving varicose veins or veins with damaged valves.
