Expand Your Practice with the CoolTouch CTEV laser 80 million Americans suffer from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) or varicose veins. Venous insufficiency symptoms include outwardly bulging, ropy varicose veins, achy, itchy, or swollen legs after standing for prolonged periods of time, excessive spider veins, skin discoloration or ulcers. Family history or heredity, pregnancies and obesity play a major role in this condition. Many who suffer from venous insufficiency don t have bulging varicose veins so they don t realize there is a treatment for their symptoms. Fifty percent of patients who seek treatment for varicose veins do it for cosmetic purposes alone. Many patients are not aware there is a simple procedure that can eliminate varicose veins or reduce venous insufficiency symptoms, they still believe that vein stripping is the gold standard with the lengthy, painful recovery process. The CoolTouch CTEV laser procedure offers the patient a simple outpatient procedure, which in most cases is covered by insurance.

The CoolTouch Difference 1320 nanometer wavelength Water specific wavelength targets water in the vessel wall THE FACTS: The CoolTouch CTEV is a Nd:YAG micro-pulsed laser with a 1320 nanometer wavelength, which targets water in the vein wall. The 1320 laser energy, which does not penetrate beyond a 2.0mm depth of penetration in the vein wall, is ideal for closing the vein without damaging the surrounding tissues or nerves. ADVANTAGE: The wavelength and depth of penetration allows the CoolTouch CTEV the best possible outcomes with minimal to no patient discomfort. Clinical Success & Patient Satisfaction 99% Success Rate THE FACTS: The CoolTouch CTEV offers the physician a 99% vein occlusion rate with 8 year patient follow-up clinical data, the longest single follow-up patient data in the endovenous ablation marketplace. Patients report little, if any pain, bruising, or swelling post-procedure with minimal or no downtime from work or play. Some patients even report their symptoms resolving quickly after the procedure. ADVANTAGE: The CoolTouch CTEV is a win-win procedure for both physician and patient. You can offer the preferred endovenous ablation procedure technology available from a clinical and patient satisfaction standpoint. 1320nm 810nm - 980nm (Diode Lasers) Endovenous ablation is a valuable treatment in my phlebology practice today. My choice for endovenous thermal therapy is and has been CoolTouch s 1320nm laser system for the past decade. When the SaphFire fiber was introduced in 2006, I noticed a procedural advance as compared to previously available technologies. The overall combination of 1320nm laser frequency, the SaphFire fiber and automatic pullback has produced outcomes in my office that are equivalent to published major studies.

Controlled Energy Delivery Exclusive Automatic Pullback Device THE FACTS: The CoolTouch CTEV is the only laser technology on the market that offers an Automated Fiber Pullback Device. The pullback device gently withdraws the fiber from the vein while delivering precise dosimetry during the vein ablation. It is equipped with two speeds for efficacy and shorter procedure times. ADVANTAGE: The Automatic Pullback eliminates the guesswork associated with energy delivery to the vein tissue. Other technology requires the physician to manually extract the fiber from the vein, which can result in under or over-treatment of the vein and potential thermal injury to the tissue and skin. The pullback offers a reliable, repeatable hands-free fiber retraction for excellent patient outcomes. Cost Effective & Environmentally- Friendly Fiber Options Array of Fibers & Accessories THE FACTS: CoolTouch offers a wide array of fiber options. SaphFire 2.5F single-use sterile fiber utilizes a smooth rounded tip which is ideal for tortuous veins EZ PASS 400μm single-use fiber offers a smooth passage through the vein lumen Re-usable 600μm 5x multi-use fiber, the lowest cost per procedure FDA cleared fibers to treat varicose veins Single-use sterile 600μm fiber is an industry standard endovenous fiber for your sterile needs ADVANTAGE: The CoolTouch fiber family offers the physician fiber choices based on their practice s financial and office policy needs. The CoolTouch CTEV Automated Pullback feature produces a uniform closing of the vein that improves my patient s results, especially with larger more complex vein procedures.

Micro-pulsed Technology = Clear Tip Results Minimize your risk THE FACTS: The CoolTouch CTEV laser s energy is micro-pulsed with a 100μsec duration. Micro-pulsing, a feature exclusive to the CoolTouch CTEV laser, provides the high peak power needed to produce the Clear Tip effect that inhibits thrombus formation on the fiber s tip. 3-4 ADVANTAGE: Physicians can trust the CoolTouch CTEV brand for its minimal risk profile and reduced risk of patient complications. Increase your Practice Revenue Reimbursable Procedure THE FACTS: The CoolTouch CTEV laser procedure is reimbursed by most insurance utilizing the CPT codes 36478 and 36479. The national reimbursement average in an office setting varies between ~$1300 to $1800 per procedure depending on geography. 5 One patient s complete treatment program for one leg (2 veins) has a potential reimbursement up to $5,000. ADVANTAGE: Incorporating endovenous ablation for varicose veins into your practice allows you to offer your patients an additional procedure and increases your revenue.
