Abstract

A surgical device and method for using it to strip blood vessels, such as varicose veins, or other tubular structures from the body utilizing an endovenous cable (1) that is passed through the vein section to be removed. Once the endovenous cable reaches the end of the section of blood vessel to be stripped, a head (4) is attached to the endovenous cable. The head may have at its leading edge (4a), rounded, streamlined shoulders, a leading edge and a central cavity (7) to retain the end of the vein. On the trailing end of the stripper head are one or more structures (8) capable of receiving and retaining a surgical drain (9). As the vein is stripped the drain is automatically pulled into the body. The drain will lie in the leg precisely where the vein had been, and limit the common complication of retained post surgical bleeding.
