Interventional Therapies Receives CE Mark Approval for Quick-Close II
September 17, 2010—Interventional Therapies, LLC (Westport, CT) announced that it received CE mark for its second-generation Quick-Close vascular closure device. The device is approved for use in femoral arteriotomy closure in both diagnostic and interventional endovascular procedures using 5- to 8-F sheaths.
According to the company, the Quick-Close has demonstrated significantly reduced time to hemostasis and time to ambulation. In the Quick-Close pivotal trial involving 367 patients, median time to hemostasis was 1 minute. The second generation vascular closure device forms the foundation for the company's Quick-Close Multi-Close device, which is designed for percutaneous large bore closures of arteriotomies up to 24 F. The Quick-Close II features ergonomic enhancements allowing for increased ease of use and reduced learning curve rates while providing simple, verifiable, and consistently safe vascular closure. Additional safety is provided by a monofilament suture closure. The device allows the user to perform a safety check at each step, ensuring proper percutaneous placement and function, noted the company.
