Historically nurses and technologists have managed puncture sites after diagnostic and interventional procedures. Therefore, it is natural for VasoSeal to be deployed by nurses and technologists. Nurses and technologists routinely monitor groin sites. After VasoSeal is deployed, follow routine practice for monitoring the puncture site. Standardizes groin site management around a team of focused, well trained, experienced operators.
VasoSeal placement is extravascular, designed to leave nothing inside the artery.
Therefore, physicians and administrators are more amenable to having it deployed by nurses and technologists. Implementing a focused team to manage and care for puncture sites provides continuity of patient care. Offers flexibility as to where VasoSeal can be deployed such as the cath lab, holding unit, and other areas of the hospital. Allows physicians to move on to the next procedure. Provides flexibility to deploy VasoSeal outside the cath lab resulting in quicker turnover of the cath lab room.
