  • Publication number: 20240238575
    Abstract: A vascular access device is implanted under the skin directly over a vascular structure, such as a blood vessel that makes up the arteriovenous (AV) fistula. The vascular access device is designed such that insertion of and the travel of a needle, such as a standard dialysis needle, within a needle access channel urges a displaceable valve to an open position and removal of the dialysis needle from the channel results in the valve automatically closing and sealing the wound, thereby preventing back-bleeding.
