Skin Level
The black compaction marker is non-absorbable –
it must be removed.
NOTE: Make sure the suture retracts below skin
level to avoid infection.
NOTE: If seeping of blood occurs after placing the
Angio-Seal™ device, or after removing the tamper
tube, application of gentle digital pressure (one or
two fingers) at the puncture site is usually sufficient
to produce hemostasis. If manual pressure is
necessary, monitor pedal pulses.
7. Clean the puncture site with an antiseptic solution/
ointment.
8. Apply a sterile dressing to the puncture site so that it
can be easily observed during recovery.
