POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT CLOSURE DEVICES AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041472 titled 'POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT CLOSURE DEVICES AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes devices and methods for creating hemostasis at a subcutaneous vascular puncture, specifically for closing vascular punctures following trans-radial arterial procedures such as catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention.

• The devices may include a housing that has a suction chamber and an anvil.
• The anvil is adhesively attached to the limb of a patient, creating a pulling force as well as a pushing force on the patient's skin, subcutaneous tissue, and artery.
• Alternatively, the pulling force and pushing force can be achieved through mechanical means.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Closing vascular punctures following trans-radial arterial procedures
• Hemostasis in other subcutaneous vascular punctures

Problems solved by this technology:

• Provides a method for effectively closing vascular punctures, reducing the risk of bleeding and complications.
• Offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods of achieving hemostasis.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved patient comfort and reduced pain compared to traditional methods.
• Faster and more efficient closure of vascular punctures.
• Potential for reduced healthcare costs by minimizing complications and the need for additional interventions.

Original Abstract Submitted

devices and methods for creating hemostasis at a subcutaneous vascular puncture are disclosed. the methods and devices may be used to close vascular punctures following trans-radial arterial procedures, e.g., catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention. the devices may include a housing defining a suction chamber and an anvil disposed within the suction chamber and adhesively attached to the limb of a patient such that the apparatus creates a pulling force as well as a pushing force on the patient's skin, subcutaneous tissue, and artery. alternatively, the pulling force and pushing force may be accomplished be mechanical means.
