English term or phrase: suture-mediated closure system (SMC)
A question for our medical experts.

From an IFU for a surgical closure system for the closure of a puncture site in the femoral artery following diagnostic and interventional procedures.

The client provided a German translation of a previous IFU as reference, which uses "nahtvermitteltes Verschlußsystem" - and that sounds like a rather literal translation to me. A Google search on "nahtvermittelt/nahtvermitteltes" brought no hits whatsoever. I then set Google to German pages only and searched for "suture-mediated", but all the hits I got on that setting pointed to biographical information (in English).

So my questions to the medical experts among us: Is there a German term for this, or is the English term used in German? Is "nahtvermitteltes Verschlußsystem" (Verschlusssystem according to the new spelling) an acceptable translation? Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
Offensichtlich geht es um ein spezifisches Gerät, das in Amerika durch Perclose, eine Abbott-Tochter, unter dem Namen "The Closer" auf den Markt gebracht wird. Auf diesem Weg fand ich den deutschen Begriff.

sorry: PVS, nicht PGV;
und im Prinzip natürlich \"Gefäßverschluss\", auch wenn die web site \"Gefässverschluss\" schreibt.

Nahtverschlusssystem


Explanation:
Ich würde "mediated" weglassen. "Nahtverschluss" (suture closure) ist meines Wissens recht gebräuchlich, und für "Nahtverschlusssystem" gab es sogar einen Google-Treffer:

"...ist man deshalb sowohl in der Klinik als auch in der ambulanten Praxiseinheit in der Vergangenheit immer mehr zum intrakutanen Nahtverschlusssystem der Operationswunde übergegangen."
