The use of closure devices

Steven G Katz et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

The use of arterial closure devices offers significant benefits over manual compression in achieving groin hemostasis following catheter-based procedures. Several currently available devices provide rapid puncture site closure with complication rates similar to that of manual compression. Closure devices allow for early times to ambulation and hospital discharge, and have a high degree of patient satisfaction. Their use may be of particular benefit inpatients that are anticoagulated. We believe that their use should be strongly considered in all patients following femoral artery catheterization.
