Suture-Mediated Closure For Both Femoral Arterial And Venous Access Sites
Perclose ProGlide™ Suture-Mediated Closure (SMC) System delivers a secure, non-masking percutaneous suture to the access site that promotes primary healing1 and has no reaccess restrictions.
This system has the broadest arterial and venous indication*; it can be utilized for 5-21F2 (Max. 26F OD4) arterial sheaths and 5-24F3 (Max. 29F OD4) venous sheaths. Abbott’s Perclose ProGlide™ SMC System also offers the following benefits:
- Reduced time to hemostasis, ambulation and discharge6,10
- Ability to challenge and confirm closure complete hemostasis on the table
- Minimized inflammatory response7
- Significantly lower blood transfusions, infections, mortality and shorter length of stay compared to surgical cutdown for large-bore arterial access8
- Low major access site-related complications for large-bore venous access9

Broadest Indication*
The Perclose™ ProStyle™ SMCR System has the broadest indication for both femoral arterial and venous access.

Parallels the Surgical Gold Standard
- Associated with significantly lower blood transfusions, infections, mortality, and shorter length of stay compared to surgical cutdown8
- Secure repair with pre-tied polypropylene monofilament suture
- Minimal intravascular footprint
Promotes Vessel Healing
- Minimizes inflammatory response7
- No re-access restrictions after using Abbott vascular closure devices
Gives In-Lab Confidence
- Low access site-related complication,8,9 reduces time to hemostasis, ambulation, and discharge as compared to manual compression6,10
- Suture repair can be challenged and confirmed on the table
- Ability to maintain wire access

- Primary intention healing occurs where vessel wall edges are brought together, adjacent to each other. This can be achieved with suture, stitches, staples and clips.
- For arterial sheath sizes greater than 8F, at least two devices and the pre-close technique are required.
- For venous sheath sizes greater than 8F, at least one device and the pre-close technique are required.
