VASCADE offers superior safety and efficacy as compared to manual compression. Additionally, VASCADE is easy to use and provides these benefits:
VASCADE provides tamponade as a result of rapid expansion of collagen in presence of fluid.3,4 Approximately 13x expansion in collagen patch ensures tissue tract is sufficiently filled and provides mechanical hemostasis.
VASCADE accelerates coagulation by leveraging natural thrombogenic properties of collagen to enhance coagulation. In vitro testing demonstrates VASCADE collagen decreases clotting time in both heparinized and non-heparinized blood as compared against control (porcine blood).3,5
