HEMOSTATIC DEVICE AND ITS METHODS OF USE

摘要

A hemostatic device for sealing a puncture of a vessel includes a first tube defining a first lumen, and a malecot coupled to the first tube. The malecot is selectively actuatable from a neutral configuration to a stopper configuration. The hemostatic device also includes a second tube circumscribing at least a portion of the first tube. The second tube at least partially defines a second lumen and a third lumen. The second tube includes a first opening in flow communication with the third lumen and positioned proximally relative to the malecot. The second tube is selectively orientable to at least partially expose a hemocoagulant agent retained in the second lumen.

1. A method for sealing a puncture of a vessel using a hemostatic device that includes a first tube defining a first lumen, a malecot coupled to the first tube, and a second tube circumscribing at least a portion of the first tube and at least partially defining a second lumen and a third lumen, said method comprising:
retaining a hemocoagulant agent in the second lumen; advancing a distal end of the hemostatic device into the vessel until a fluid is channeled through a first opening of the second tube into the third lumen, wherein the first opening is positioned proximally relative to the malecot; transitioning the malecot from a neutral configuration to a stopper configuration; withdrawing the hemostatic device until the malecot abuts an interior surface of vessel wall; and selectively orienting the second tube such that the hemocoagulant agent is at least partially exposed.
