AbsorbaSeal™ 5.6.7F vascular closure device: A good laboratory practice chronic study evaluating safety and efficacy in a healthy porcine model.

Objectives: Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are widely used for arteriotomy closure after percutaneous catheter-based procedures. In comparison to manual compression, VCDs have been associated with shorter time to hemostasis, shorter time to ambulation, and also decreased length of stay. Complexity of deployment, lack of immediate hemostasis, and residual deformity of the arterial wall remain as limitations of current VCDs.
