DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING HEMOSTASIS OF A BIOPSY TRACT

摘要

A system (10) including an adaptor (12), and a syringe (14) is used for facilitating hemostasis of a biopsy tract or other puncture wound by deliver y of an absorbable sponge (20) in a hydrated state into the wound. The adaptor (12) includes a tapered lumen for hydrating, and compressing the relatively large absorbable sponge (20) for delivery of a small cannula (16). The syste m (10) may include various vent caps (70).
