My name is Chris Rugg from Germany. I'm a phlebologist since 25 years and I'm working mainly on innovations for phlebology. And today at the Charing Cross Venus City I'm presenting some novelties for venous compression. In particular when treating superficial veins with microfilm, you may have results with residuals, stainings or nasty inflammations. And conventional stockings or compression bandages do not solve the problem. There are new materials like a transparent film bandage which can invisibly be wrapped around a treated leg and due to its feature of bearing a strong adhesive, it will connect to the skin and it will provide something we may call tangential compression and it will keep the previously large superficial vein nicely compressed and this is a good way to provide good results without these nasty formal problems. If you are aiming at veins not at the surface of the skin, you may need additional tools like a silicone pad brought from a cartridge to a varicosity which is more easy to do than cotton pads and it may stay for two weeks or even longer. And finally, for even deeper targets, you may use hyaluronan in a new preparation to ejected around the veins to have permanent compression for lots of weeks, guaranteeing perfect results without any of the former side effects. We are looking for the industry to provide us with the marketing within this year and I hope you'll be a guest on my website thenartist.org.
