SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING HEMOSTASIS PROMOTING MATERIAL TO A BLOOD VESSEL PUNCTURE SITE BY FLUID PRESSURE

摘要

A system allows the hemostasis promoting material (20) to be delivered to a blood vessel puncture site (108) by fluid pressure. The system allows the hemostasis promoting material (20) to be delivered through an introducer sheath (10) which is already in place within a tissue tract. This system includes a control tip (14) which is insertable through the introducer sheath (10) to locate and occlude the blood vessel puncture (108), and a hydration chamber (12) for receiving and delivering the hemostasis promoting material (20) to the blood vessel puncture site (108). The system accurately locates the blood vessel wall (106) at a puncture site (108) and for properly placing a hemostasis plug (20) over the puncture site (108).
