An assembly of devices intended to be used for the resection and ablation of varicose veins [superficial dilated tortuous veins especially of the legs (greater saphenous veins)]. It typically consists of a mains electricity (AC-powered) control unit that supplies the power and steering for the invasive devices of the system, a pump(s) for irrigation of the surgical site, an illuminator, a resector handpiece, and a foot-switch. Through surgical site illumination, the surgeon performs the procedure under direct visualization (through the transparency of the skin and not blind as in other procedures), typically in an outpatient setting.
