Company Profile

STD Pharmaceutical Products Ltd is a family run business formed in 1967 to supply a novel sclerosant to surgeons for the non surgical treatment of varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy products for treating varicose veins

The business started out making a sclerosant called Fibrovein. Fibrovein is a liquid injection which, when injected into varicose veins can close them without the need for surgery. The treatment of varicose veins with Fibrovein offers the patient a painless walk in, walk out procedure without anaesthesia or surgery; the veins are simply injected. For the patient, the treatment avoids the pain and time off work following surgery. Small veins such as spider and thread veins can also be injected giving excellent cosmetic results.

Injection of varicose veins is also attractive to the NHS because the treatment offers savings in time and money as well as freeing up theatre time.
