<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for sealing a puncture hole in a bodily organ which has an external member compressable in the radial direction. <P>SOLUTION: The device for sealing a puncture hole in a bodily organ 1 comprises an elongated retaining member 13, an inner member adapted for positioning against an inner surface of the bodily organ, and an outer member 10 adapted for positioning against a corresponding outer surface of the bodily organ. The inner member is arranged at a distal end of the elongated retaining member 13. The outer member 10 is movable along the elongated retaining member 13, characterized in that the outer member 10 has a structure, having a minimum radial extension when in a first state, thereby enabling, after having been deployed inside the bodily organ through the puncture hole, retraction of the outer member 10 out of the puncture hole, and, when in a second state, the outer member 10 is arranged to be engaged in a locking arrangement with the elongated retaining member 13 such that the outer member 10 can be moved distally along the elongated retaining member 13 and fixed in a locked position at the outer surface of the bodily organ to thereby enable sealing of the puncture hole by at least one of the inner member and the outer member 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
