PLEDGET VALVE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system for delivering hemostasis promoting material (20) of the present invention 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) 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).
