Vascular Closure Device is a Critical Medical Device for Treatment of Punctured Arteries and Prevents Accumulation of Plaque
Vascular Closure Device (VCD) was introduced to medical practice in 1994. The primary purpose of these therapeutic devices is to reduce complications following percutaneous mini-bullet and femoral artery access and improve patient comfort during surgery. One of the major advantages of a VCD is the prevention of femoral artery recession or femoral artery wall crush. These devices are placed around the femoral artery or the largest artery in the body, the femoral artery originates from the tibia to the knee and provides one of the major blood flow to the leg. This large artery is susceptible to early narrowing by plaque buildup from within, particularly from small platelets, microVascular Closure Device-organisms, and atherosclerotic plaques. Plaque can easily deposit onto the arterial walls and restrict blood flow, leading to the decreased blood supply to the leg and painful symptoms such as leg pain, tingling, numbness, and impaired walking. A VCD prevents or greatly reduces the ...
