Large-bore femoral venous access is becoming more commonplace, but access closure still often requires hours of postprocedural monitoring and bedrest.

I am happy to hear that Venock is developing a large bore venous closure that facilitate early hospital discharge for this fast-growing patient population.

Large bore venous closure has long been a drain on time and resources during many of my procedures. I am thrilled to hear that Venock is taking on this important task and am convinced their approach will produce a robust and effective device that is closing large bore venous punctures within minutes.

My patients tell me that their only negative memory after an interventional procedure is being bedridden with a compression bandage and suffering from a hematoma and considerable pain in their groin. I am eager to provide a solution which will end this pain.

Arterial closure devices have tremendously improved the post-interventional recovery process by saving time and resources, decreasing patient discomfort, and eliminating complications like hematoma. I am looking forward to seeing the same benefits in large bore venous closure.

The Venock device will attain large bore venous closure in under a minute, thus saving time and money, while significantly reducing patient discomfort and time to discharge when compared to the recovery from manual compression.

Venous procedures using large bore catheters are becoming more and more common, particularly as we work on tricuspid valves and other structural heart problems. It’s been my experience, that the only devices out there are currently used off-label and are very inconvenient. You have to prepare closure before the procedure and it sometimes requires multiple different closure devices, which makes the procedure expensive. I think Venock is a one stop shopping device that is cost-effective and importantly will reduce time in the outpatient center or the hospital with cost savings for Medicare, health plans as well as the hospital and outpatient center.
