TISSUE PUNCTURE CLOSURE DEVICE WITH TRACK PLUG

摘要

Method and apparatus for sealing a puncture and/or incision formed percutaneously in a tissue are disclosed. The sealing may be facilitated by an anchor, a sealing plug and an incision track plug. A filament or other connector 5 may attach the anchor to the sealing plug and the incision track plug. The incision track plug adsorbs blood from surrounding tissue of an incision track. Some methods and apparatus provide for disengagable automatic tamping and/or cinching of the sealing plug and incision track plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site.
