Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Bioabsorbable closure that sandwiches the femoral arteriotomy between an intra-arterial anchor and an extravascular collagen plug, cinched by a self-tightening suture for rapid hemostasis. Typical procedural contexts include hemostasis after diagnostic angiography and femoral arterial interventions.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
ANGIO-SEAL® achieves femoral hemostasis by sandwiching the arteriotomy between an intravascular anchor and an extravascular collagen plug, unlike suture-mediated or fully extravascular sealant systems.
