title: Non-invasive hemostatic closure devices: "patches and pads".
abstract: Initial device technologies developed to obtain hemostasis of percutaneous arteriotomy sites have used sutures or hemostatic plugs. Recently, a new class of noninvasive products have been introduced that promote rapid hemostasis in the form of a patch or pad. The purpose of this article is to review recent innovations using simple, but effective, hemostatic aids.
