Benefits of Using the KELT Device in the OBL Setting

Using the KELT device in the outpatient-based lab (OBL) setting has proven to be a game changer. The device allows for quicker procedures as there is no need for prolonged bed rest or post-procedure monitoring. This helps increase efficiency and throughput in the OBL. Additionally, the KELT device provides a more predictable and secure closure, which is crucial in the OBL where patients rely on the expertise of the physicians without the same level of backup as in a hospital setting.
