Interventional device developer Abbott Vascular Devices (AVD) unveiled its StarClose Vascular Closure System at the 2004 Paris Course on Revascularization (PCR) this week in Paris.
The product features a Nitinol clip, designed to promote the primary healing process to achieve a secure close of femoral artery access sites following diagnostic or interventional vascular procedures. It also provides 360° tissue apposition for rapid healing and immediate hemostasis, AVD said.
StarClose received CE Mark certification in February 2004, and is available for sale in the European Economic Community. AVD is a subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories of Abbott Park, IL.
