Incised position that is located adjacent, but does not extend beyond, the vessel wall. The invention features a device including a member (4) having a proximal portion (3) constructed to remain outside the body and an elongated generally distal tubular portion (8) that is constructed to be introduced axially into the incision channel (48) and be moveable axially therein. A detector (10), adapted to detect a predetermined condition indicative of an axial position within the channel, is disposed on the side of the tubular distal portion. The hemostatic material is carried by, and releasable from, the member into the channel at a desired axial location relative to the location indicated by the detector. |
