Non-thermal endovenous ablations, due to the lowest probability of complications, are the
new method of treating chronic venous insufficiency—one of the most common diseases globally.
The Flebogrif system (Balton Sp. z o.o., Warsaw, Poland) is a new mechano-chemical ablation system
causing the mechanical damage of endothelium that allows for better sclerosant penetration into
its wall. The purpose of the article is to provide mechanical characteristics in the form of force–
displacement dependence for a single cutting element, and a bundle of cutting elements of Flebogrif
as a whole for different levels of protrusion of the bundle of cutting elements. A TA.HD plus
(Stable Micro Systems, Godalming, UK) analyzer equipped with special handles, was used for
characteristics testing. The head movement speed used was 5 mm·s−1. The Flebogrif system was
tested for three cutting element protrusion levels: L = Lmax, L = 0.9·Lmax, and L = 0.8·Lmax. Before
testing, geometric measurement of the spacing of the cutting elements for three proposed protrusions
was performed. It was established that decreasing the working length of the cutting elements will
increase their rigidity, and, as a result, increase the force exerted on the internal surface of the vein
wall. The obtained characteristics will allow for specifying contact force variability ranges and the
corresponding diameter ranges of operated veins.
