Perclose ProGlide SMC System delivers a secure, non-masking percutaneous suture to the access site that promotes primary healing1 and has no re-access restrictions. This system has the broadest arterial and venous indication*; it can be utilized for 5-21F2 (Max. 26F OD3) arterial sheaths and 5-24F2 (Max. 29F OD3) venous sheaths.
Advanced Suture-Mediated Closure TechnologyThe Perclose ProGlide System employs innovative suture-mediated technology for the effective closure of vascular access sites. Designed for use with 6F to 8F sheaths, it delivers reproducible results, minimizing tissue trauma and expediting patient recovery. This device is ideal for hospitals and clinical settings prioritizing precision and patient safety.
Simple, Manual Operation with Ergonomic BenefitsEngineered for manual use, the Perclose ProGlide System is completely portable, requires no external power, and maintains a quiet working environment. Its ergonomic structure facilitates single-handed deployment, improving workflow for trained healthcare professionals while ensuring consistent and secure vessel closure.
Safe, Sterile, and Ready for UseEach Perclose ProGlide device is individually wrapped in sterile, peel-open trays, ensuring readiness for immediate clinical application. It is latex-free to reduce allergic risks, and training is highly recommended for optimal and safe usage. After deployment, the device is disposed of in biohazardous waste following hospital protocols.
FAQ's of Perclose ProGlide Suture-Mediated Closure (SMC) System:
Q: How is the Perclose ProGlide SMC System deployed for vascular access site closure?
A: The device is inserted following vascular access, and a suture is deployed via a manual, single-handed operation. The polypropylene suture is then cut to achieve mechanical closure of the vessel entry site.
Q: What are the compatibility requirements for the Perclose ProGlide System?
A: It is compatible with 6 French to 8 French introducer sheaths and intended for adult patients requiring femoral vein or artery closure.
Q: When should clinicians dispose of the Perclose ProGlide device?
A: After single use, the Perclose ProGlide SMC System should be discarded as biohazardous waste according to institutional disposal protocols.
Q: Where should the Perclose ProGlide SMC System be stored prior to use?
A: Store the device in a dry, room-temperature environment to maintain sterility and maximize shelf life, which extends up to 3 years if properly stored.
Q: What training is needed to operate the Perclose ProGlide SMC System?
A: Device-specific training for operators is strongly recommended to ensure proper technique, safety, and effective closure outcomes.
Q: What benefits does the Perclose ProGlide SMC System offer over traditional closure methods?
A: It provides minimally invasive, fast, and reliable closure with single-handed deployment, reducing procedure time and promoting patient comfort during recovery.
Q: How does the Perclose ProGlide achieve accuracy in suture placement?
A: The device is engineered for consistent and reliable suture placement, leveraging its ergonomic design and specialized mechanism to deliver precise vessel closure every time.
