(inflammation of the superficial veins), varicose ulcers, post-surgical
varicose veins, after saphenectomy (removal of a damaged vein).
THROMBOHEP
GEL can also be used in traumas and injuries, localized oedemas,
subcutaneous hematoma (collection of blood under the skin) alone or in
combination with systemic therapy.
