StarCloseâ„¢ Vascular Closure System
March 20, 2006 Categories: Devices Posted by adminThe StarClose™ Vascular Closure System (VCS) is used to close a puncture site in the femoral artery and stop bleeding following a 5 or 6 French diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedure. After a cardiac catheterization procedure it is necessary to stop the bleeding in a blood vessel in the leg (the femoral artery). The StarClose™ VCS uses a nitinol clip to stop bleeding by closing the hole in the artery.
