Patent ID: 8632520

Claim:
A vein closure and injection kit for delivering sclerosing agent into a vein, the kit comprising: a sclerosing agent; an elongated sheath comprising a proximal end and a distal end defining a longitudinal axis extending along the elongated sheath from the proximal end to the distal end, the elongated sheath comprising: a main channel extending along the longitudinal axis from the proximal end to the distal end of the elongated sheath, wherein the main channel comprises an entry port at the proximal end of the elongated sheath and an exit port at the distal end of the elongated sheath, wherein a device extending out of the main channel from the exit port is directed along the longitudinal axis; an injection channel extending from the proximal end of the elongated sheath towards the distal end of the elongated sheath, wherein a proximal portion of the injection channel extends along the longitudinal axis to a bend at which the injection channel defines an injection direction that is not aligned with the longitudinal axis, whereby an injection device extending out of the injection channel from an injection port is directed along the injection direction; a vein closure device operable through the main channel of the elongated sheath, wherein the vein closure device comprises an actuator that protrudes from the entry port of the main channel and a closure mechanism protruding from the exit port of the main channel during closure of a vein using the vein closure device; and an injection device operable through the injection channel of the elongated sheath, wherein the injection device comprises a needle protruding from the injection port of the injection channel, wherein the needle is configured to deliver the sclerosing agent into a vein.
