Femoral artery closure plug/patch, collagen

This category includes implantable, bioabsorbable devices used to close femoral artery puncture sites after catheterization procedures. They work by applying pressure through a collagen-based plug that is delivered to the extravascular surface of the artery, often secured with a bioabsorbable patch or anchor to promote haemostasis and reduce reliance on manual compression or surgical closure.

Devices in this category are supplied sterile and intended for single use, incorporating both a delivery system and the collagen plug with optional anchoring components. They are regulated as implantable medical devices and must meet biocompatibility and performance standards for bioabsorbable materials, with their design focused on achieving rapid, reliable vessel closure following arterial access.
