Abstract
A device and method for treating a vein to improve its structural integrity. Heating the vein causes at least a portion of the cross links of the collagen in the vein to unlink/open and subsequently form new cross links after the collagen fibers have realigned. The procedure produces a vein that is less flaccid and more resilient. The lumen can have a larger diameter and a shaped smoother inner surface.
