Executive Summary
Vascular Solutions has received US FDA 510(k) marketing clearance for its Vari-Lase endovenous laser treatment for varicose veins.

Over one million people in the US alone seek treatment each year for varicose veins, the company adds. Vascular Solutions plans a limited capacity US launch of its product in the second quarter of this year, followed by a full launch early in the third quarter.
