Read MoreHide Full Article

Haemonetics Corporation (HAE - Free Report) , a global medical technology company, has introduced a limited market release of VASCADE MVP XL mid-bore venous closure device. The device comes with innovative collapsible disc technology and a proprietary resorbable collagen patch designed to promote rapid hemostasis.

The latest development is expected to help Haemonetics grab opportunities in the growing vascular closure solutions space.

About VASCADE MVP XL

VASCADE MVP XL system is designed for "mid-bore" multi-access femoral venous closure with 6-12F procedural sheaths. The new VASCADE MVP XL system is expected to provide a robust closure solution for procedures requiring 10-12F sheath (up to 15F in outer diameter) by utilizing 58% more collagen and a larger disc compared with the current VASCADE system.

Earlier this year, VASCADE MVP XL system gained pre-market approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

More on the News

The launch of VASCADE MVP XL should expand Haemonetics’ VASCADE portfolio of vascular closure systems. HAE’s current VASCADE portfolio includes the VASCADE system, intended for "small-bore" femoral arterial and venous closure with standard 5-6/7F procedural sheaths, and the VASCADE MVP system, for "mid-bore" multi-access femoral venous closure with 6-12F procedural sheaths.

VASCADE MVP XL, while including closure solutions for procedures requiring 10-12F sheaths, is anticipated to upgrade the existing range of vascular closure solutions to cater to the increasing demand for catheter-based ablation technologies. Haemonetics is confident about improving patient care with the new VASCADE MVP XL system.

A full market release of VASCADE MVP XL is expected to happen later this year.
