Terumo Angio-Seal™ VIP Vascular Closure Device

Angioseal is another category of vascular closure device which avoids an open incision and dissection down to artery. It falls in the category of collagen (pro-clotting) injection which is enhanced by a suture anchor. An absorbable anchor is first deployed in the artery. Next, collagen is placed in the tissue tract down to the artery wall. Finally, the collagen is secured down to the wall by sutures, performing a seal.
