摘要 |
The invention provides a closure device ( 1 ) for sealing an incision channel leading through a vessel wall and into the vessel. The closure device ( 1 ) comprises a haemostatic material ( 3 ), which is contained in the distal end of an elongated insertion assembly ( 2 ). The insertion assembly ( 2 ), which comprises a stationary part ( 4 ) and a retractable part ( 5 ) being slidably movable with regard to each other, is adapted to be attached to an introducer ( 7 ) being in position in the incision channel, so that the insertion assembly ( 2 ) can be slid along the introducer ( 7 ) until the distal end of the insertion assembly ( 2 ) is in contact with the vessel wall, where the haemostatic material ( 3 ) is delivered in the incision channel by a retracting movement of the retractable part ( 5 ).
