ProStyle Closure Device Supports Faster Recovery After AF Ablation

Patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital are now benefiting from the use of the ProStyle closure device following their procedure.

This device is used to close the femoral venous access site at the end of an AF ablation. By helping achieve reliable closure and earlier mobilisation, ProStyle has the potential to improve the patient experience, shorten recovery time, and reduce length of stay after ablation.

For many patients, this means less time lying flat after the procedure and a smoother journey from the catheter lab to discharge. It is a small change in technique that can make a meaningful difference to recovery and flow through the service.

Further audit will help assess the impact on discharge times, patient comfort, and overall pathway efficiency.
