Introducing the StarClose™ System

Patients undergoing vascular procedures now have access to the innovative StarClose™ Vascular Closure System. Diagnostic catheterization is the first step interventional physicians perform to diagnose vascular disease in patients. During this procedure, dye is injected into a vessel and the extent of disease is shown by x-ray. Once catheterization is completed and the catheter is withdrawn, the site of vessel entry (the puncture site) must be closed. The StarClose™ System allows physicians to quickly close the artery reducing the risk of complications and allowing earlier discharge of the patient.
