摘要:
A device and a method for generating therapeutic foam from a sclerosing solutionsuch as polidocanol and a gas which is absorbable or dissolvable in the body comprisesa disposable cassette including a liquid container and a flexible chamber containinggas, chamber being formed as a loop (6). Located in the loop chamber (6) is a foamgenerating mesh (8). In use, liquid is introduced into the chamber and then thecassette is inserted into a pumping machine where it is engaged by a peristalticpump which circulates the contents of the loop chamber (6) through the mesh (8),thus creating foam. When a steady state is reached, foam may be withdrawn usinga syringe via either a port (3) or septum.
