PERCUTANEOUS VASCULAR CLOSURE

ABBOTT VASCULAR - STARCLOSE

The Starclose is a femoral artery vascular closure system for diagnostic or therapeutic 5 to 6 Fr access sites, used at the end of the procedure.

Characteristics:

Safe: Early Ambulation – RISE Study median time to ambulation was 6.25 minutes (1), Rapid Hemostasis – CLIP Study median time to hemostasis was ≤ 19.8 seconds (2).

Fast and easy: The device's design with numbered steps and an ergonomic system provides stability and intuitive release.

Extravascular: El clip de nitinol permite cerrar la adventicia y las capas medias, sin dejar nada dentro de la arteria. No produce interrupción del flujo o la velocidad y permite el reingreso inmediato visible bajo fluoroscopia (sin restricciones para realizar una RM inmediatamente luego del procedimiento).
