Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Provides sustained external compression after arterial or venous sheath removal and can serve as rescue hemostasis when prolonged manual compression is undesirable or impractical.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
External compression achieves hemostasis without leaving an implanted closure component; FemoStop® and SAFEGUARD® represent different device designs within this surface-compression category.
