New extravascular device for occlusion of the femoral arterial access site. “Glubran 2 Seal Device” is the applicator specially studied to be hooked and made slipping along the outer surface of the introducer sheath , to go easily through the subcutaneous adipose tissue and to stop itself into the point where the glue is released. The applicator is in 5-6 French and 7-8 French sizes.
Advantages
- occlusion of the femoral access site in retrograde and antegrade position
- release of the glue in extravascular site
- no need to interrupt the anticoagulant therapies
- fast and safe occlusion due to the remarkable reactivity and adhesiveness of the glue
- reduction of any infections connected to the bacteriostatic activity of the glue
- biocompatible
- guarantees the occlusion of the femoral access site even when the application is in the femoral artery, deep or superficial, femoral bifurcation, by-pass (PTFE, Dacron, venous) and calcific vessels
- opportunity to immediately repunching the artery
- requires a short learning curve
- earlier patient’s walking activity
- reduction of hospital stay costs due to the early discharge of the patient
- execution of the procedure in complete safety by carefully following the application steps
