The endovenous treatment device has a delivery system (1; 2) for delivering of at least one treatment dose, which delivery system (1; 2) includes a wire element (1) for delivery of a treatment dose, which has a distal end part (10) able to be inserted, over at least part of its length, longitudinally into a vein, and which allows at least one treatment dose to be delivered into a vein in the region of the end of said distal end part (10). It additionally includes a drive system (4) by which the wire element (1) for dose delivery can be driven in at least a first given drive direction (R), and a guide (3) which is flexible along all or part of its length. The device includes a holding system (5) by which the distal end part (30) of the guide (3) can be temporarily held with respect to the body of a patient, near the insertion zone (7) of the wire element (1).
An endovenous treatment device having a delivery system of at least one treatment dose, the delivery system comprises a wired treatment dose delivery element which is flexible, which has a distal end portion capable of being inserted, at least over part of its length, longitudinally into a vein, and which is adapted for delivery into the vein of at least one treatment dose in a region of the end of said distal end portion, the endovenous treatment device further comprising a drive system for driving of the wired treatment dose delivery element in at least a given first drive direction, a guide which is flexible over all or part of its length, which has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, and which allows the wired treatment dose delivery element to be guided over a portion of its length with a proximal end portion and, at the opposite end, a distal end portion of the wired treatment dose delivery element, which are not guided by the guide, a holding system which is positioned at the distal end portion of the guide and enables the distal end portion of the guide to be temporarily held relative to the body of a patient, near an insertion zone of the wired treatment dose delivery element, and a lock which allows the proximal end portion of the guide to be locked axially relative to the drive system, at least in the first drive direction of the wired treatment dose delivery element, the wired treatment dose delivery element being slidable in the direction of its length relative to the guide, so as to allow insertion longitudinally into the vein of the distal end portion of the wired treatment dose delivery element over at least a portion of its length.
A method of endovenous treatment with a wired treatment dose delivery element, which is flexible and is guided over a portion of its length by means of a guide, with a proximal end portion, and on the opposite side, a distal end portion of the wired treatment dose delivery element, which are not guided by the guide, said guide being flexible over all or part of its length, said method comprising at least the following operations:
