-Photograph of the compression device composed of transparent plastic plates affixed using a small claw equipped with a spiral spring that provides compression between the two plastic plates. The compression covered 0.625 to 0.75 inches of the vein, 0.75 inches from the puncture location. The transparent plates in the compression device allowed for visualization of the compressed section of the vein, thus certifying the effectiveness of the compression (Figure 2).

Purpose: Research whether a post-sclerotherapy venous compression period of up to 120 hours is sufficient to avoid reperfusion in treated veins; whether there is a relationship between the inflammatory intensity in venous walls and adjacent tissue and the size of venous thrombosis; whether the intensity of the post-sclerotherapy inflammation varies...

... the animals, except those in group 0, were subjected to mechanical compression on the segment of the vein in which one of the solutions had been administered, employing a device specially designed for this purpose (Figure 1). The period of compression was 24 hours for the animals in group 24, 72 hours for those in group 72 and 120 hours for those in group 120. ...
