Terumo 610131 Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device 8F (x)

It is widely used in cardiology and radiology to achieve hemostasis efficiently and safely, thereby reducing the complications associated with manual compression. The Angio-Seal VIP device is renowned for its reliability, ease of use, and ability to promote patient comfort and recovery.

Key Features

Collagen Plug Technology
The core of the Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device is its unique collagen plug technology. This bioabsorbable collagen plug is positioned to seal the arteriotomy from the outside, creating a secure and effective closure. The plug is designed to be absorbed by the body within 60 to 90 days, facilitating natural vessel healing and minimizing the risk of long-term complications.

Anchor and Suture System
The Angio-Seal device employs a combination of an intraluminal anchor and a bioabsorbable collagen plug connected by a self-tightening suture. This system ensures that the closure device remains securely in place, preventing migration and ensuring effective hemostasis. The anchor is gently deployed within the vessel, while the collagen plug seals the arteriotomy externally.

Rapid Hemostasis
One of the most significant advantages of the Angio-Seal VIP device is its ability to achieve rapid hemostasis. The device typically seals the puncture site in under a minute, significantly reducing the time required for manual compression. This rapid hemostasis is particularly beneficial in busy clinical settings, where efficiency and patient throughput are crucial.

Patient Comfort and Recovery
By minimizing the need for prolonged manual compression, the Angio-Seal VIP device enhances patient comfort and expedites recovery. Patients can mobilize sooner, reducing the length of hospital stays and improving overall patient satisfaction. The device’s minimally invasive nature also means less post-procedural pain and a lower risk of complications such as hematoma and pseudoaneurysm.

Clinical Benefits

Reduced Time to Ambulation
One of the key benefits of using the Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device is the significantly reduced time to ambulation for patients. In many cases, patients can be up and walking within hours of the procedure, which contrasts sharply with the extended bed rest often required with manual compression. This rapid mobilization is beneficial for patient well-being and reduces the risk of complications associated with prolonged immobility.

Lower Complication Rates
Clinical studies have shown that the Angio-Seal VIP device is associated with lower rates of vascular complications compared to traditional methods. The precise deployment of the collagen plug and anchor system reduces the risk of bleeding, hematoma, and other complications. Additionally, the bioabsorbable nature of the components ensures that no foreign material is left in the body long-term, further minimizing risks.

Improved Workflow in Clinical Settings
For healthcare providers, the Angio-Seal VIP device streamlines workflow by reducing the time and resources needed for post-procedural care. The rapid hemostasis achieved allows for quicker turnover of procedure rooms and more efficient use of clinical staff. This improvement in workflow enhances overall productivity and patient care quality.

Versatile Applications

Interventional Cardiology
In interventional cardiology, the Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device is used following procedures such as angioplasty and stenting. Its ability to quickly and securely close the femoral artery puncture site is invaluable in these high-stakes environments, where patient stability and rapid recovery are paramount.

Diagnostic Angiography
For diagnostic angiography procedures, the Angio-Seal VIP device provides a reliable means of achieving hemostasis, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more quickly. This is particularly important in outpatient settings, where efficient patient throughput is essential.

Radiology Interventions
In radiology, where vascular access is frequently required for imaging and therapeutic interventions, the Angio-Seal VIP device ensures that procedures are completed with minimal disruption and maximum patient safety. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of vascular access sites.

Usage Instructions
To deploy the Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device, the healthcare provider first advances the device into the femoral artery through the existing procedural sheath. The anchor is then deployed inside the artery, and the collagen plug is positioned against the exterior arterial wall. The self-tightening suture connects the anchor and the plug, creating a secure closure. The entire procedure is quick and straightforward, typically completed within minutes.

Safety and Precautions
While the Angio-Seal VIP device is designed for safety and ease of use, it is essential to follow all instructions and guidelines to avoid complications. Proper training and familiarity with the device are crucial for successful deployment. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding or other complications following the procedure. The device is contraindicated in patients with known allergies to bovine collagen or those with severe calcified arterial disease.

The Terumo 610131 Angio-Seal VIP Vascular Closure Device 8F represents a significant advancement in vascular closure technology. Its unique combination of a bioabsorbable collagen plug and anchor system provides rapid, reliable hemostasis, enhancing patient comfort and recovery. With its broad applications in interventional cardiology, diagnostic angiography, and radiology, the Angio-Seal VIP device is a valuable tool for healthcare providers. Its ability to reduce complication rates, improve clinical workflow, and promote rapid patient mobilization underscores its importance in modern medical practice.
