Embodiment Construction

[0044]The closure device is made of a bunchable material that bunches within the tissue tract. The device is delivered in a delivery sheath through the introducer sheath through the tissue tract to a vessel having a puncture hole. The distal end of the device is seated against the vessel wall and material comprising the proximal section of the device is bunched within the tissue tract to provide an environment for blood coagulation, closure of the puncture hole and sealing the space within the tissue tract. The material of the device is a biocompatible material and can be partly or fully bioabsorbable or biodegradable.

[0045]Turning now to the figures, FIG. 1A-1F depict the general embodiment of a device 17 having a distal section, a proximal section and a single tension member running through both the distal section and proximal sections and controlled by proximal ends that are proximal to the proximal section. That being said, FIG. 1A depicts a side view of an embodiment of device ...

Abstract

A closure device for closing a puncture wound has a distal section that can be placed against the interior wall of a vessel and a proximal section that bunches in the tissue tract to close the wound.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention is a closure device for closing a wound caused by a minimally invasive medical procedure that accesses the body through a vessel or cavity. The device and method of the invention provide for wound closure upon completion of such a minimally invasive procedure. The device is made of bunchable material that bunches in the tissue tract and provides a structural environment that stops bleeding and promotes healing of the tissue.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Many vascular procedures can be accomplished by minimal invasion, typically by accessing the femoral artery or another major blood vessel, and through that vessel accessing the heart, brain, or other site that requires surgical attention. When the procedure is completed a hole remains in the accessed vessel that needs to be closed. The goal of repair of the puncture wound is to create hemostasis in the tissue tract, and to allow the puncture hole in the vascular lumen to seal, allowing blo...
