Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Suture-mediated closure that pre-deploys a polypropylene stitch at the arteriotomy; one or two devices in pre-close technique can close large-bore access percutaneously. Typical procedural contexts include percutaneous EVAR/TEVAR pre-close and standard femoral arterial closure.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
Perclose ProGlide™ closes the arteriotomy with a predeployed polypropylene suture, distinguishing it from anchor-collagen, extravascular sealant, and external-compression closure mechanisms.
