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

摘要

A system for delivering hemostasis promoting material of the present invention allows the hemostasis promoting material to be delivered to a blood vessel puncture site by fluid pressure. The system allows the hemostasis promoting material to be delivered through an producer sheath which is already in place within a tissue tract. The system includes a controlled tip which is insertable through the introducer sheath to locate and occlude the blood vessel puncture site and a hydration chamber for receiving and delivering the hemostasis promoting material to the blood vessel puncture site. The system accurately locates the blood vessel wall at a puncture site and for properly placing a hemostasis plug over the puncture site.
