Procedural sheath securement device and methods

摘要

A procedural sheath holding device includes a base member and a securing member. The base member is positionable in contact with an outer skin surface adjacent to an incision. The securing member is attached to the base member and includes a securing portion operable to releasably secure a procedural sheath in a fixed axial position relative to the skin surface when a vascular closure device is inserted through the procedural sheath to seal the incision. The securing member may be pivotal relative to the base member.

1. A procedural sheath holding device, comprising:
a base member positionable in contact with an outer skin surface adjacent to an incision; a securing member pivotally attached to the base member and having a securing portion and a compressible member, the securing portion being operable to releasably secure a procedural sheath in a fixed axial position relative to the outer skin surface when a vascular closure device is inserted through the procedural sheath to seal the incision, the securing portion being operable to laterally slide within the securing member, wherein lateral movement of the securing portion applies a radially-oriented force against at least two sides of the procedural sheath by compression of the compressible member against the at least two sides of the procedural sheath.
