Clinical Need

CVI is a progressively worsening condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Painful swelling, varicose and spider veins continue to get worse leading to deep venous valve failure and chronic non healing ulcers. The following shows the condition and associated treatments available today:

Unmet Clinical Needs:

• A clinical intervention for these patients – Physicians and healthcare providers have been struggling with this issue for many years. As CVI is a degenerative problem an intervention is clearly needed.
  • DVM ’s Sail Valve^TM is designed to be delivered minimally invasively thru a 12F sheath.
• Healing chronic ulcers – Chronic ulcers are one of the worst afflictions for these patients and really can only be healed and abated by re-establishing venous drainage.
  • DVM’s Sail Valve^TM is designed to re-establish the return flow required to heal these ulcers and prevent their return.
• A treatment that does not need patient education or compliance – Currently the treatments for CVI are many and complicated; elevation, compression, wound dressings, drugs and antibiotics. Patient compliance is difficult and often inconsistent.
  • DVM’s Sail Valve^TM is designed to be a part of a greatly simplified program of care attempting to address the cause rather than the symptoms of CVI.
