ABOUT ACCESS

Innovation with Intent

At Terumo, we innovate with intent to achieve the best possible outcomes. Our uniquely engineered radial and femoral sheaths and closure devices push the boundaries in treatment regardless of the access site.

The Terumo radial and femoral access and closure solutions provide:

  • Lower risk of complications1,2,3
  • Improved patient comfort and satisfaction4,5
  • Reduced length of stay6
  • Opportunity for same day discharge6

Indications:
The  Angio-Seal Vascular Closure Device product family, including the VIP and Evolution platforms, is indicated for use in closing and reducing time to hemostasis of the femoral arterial puncture site in patients who have undergone diagnostic angiography procedures or interventional procedures using an 8 French or smaller procedural sheath for the 8 F Angio-Seal device and a 6 French or smaller procedural sheath for the 6 F Angio-Seal device. The Angio-Seal VIP and Evolution platform devices are also indicated for use to allow patients who have undergone diagnostic angiography to safely ambulate as soon as possible after sheath removal and device placement, as well as to allow patients who have undergone an interventional procedure to safely ambulate after sheath removal and device placement.

Important Safety Information:
Possible adverse events for vascular closure devices include, but are not limited to: bleeding or hematoma, AV fistula or pseudoaneurysm, infection, allergic reaction, foreign body reaction, inflammation or edema. This device should only be used by a licensed physician (or other health care professional authorized by or under the direction of such physician) possessing adequate instruction in the use of the device, e.g., participation in an Angio-Seal physician instruction program or equivalent.
