AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing methods for closing vascular puncture sites are time-consuming, costly, uncomfortable for patients, and can increase the risk of hematoma due to prolonged bleeding, often requiring prolonged immobilization in a clinical setting.

⚗Method used

A device with a sealing sleeve and support member, controlled by a handle with pull and push racks, allows precise deployment and tamping of a sealant at the puncture site, preventing premature exposure and ensuring controlled application of force, using a releaseable lock to maintain control over the support member's movement.

🎯Benefits of technology

Enables efficient, controlled sealing of vascular punctures with reduced risk of hematoma, minimizing patient discomfort and time in clinical settings by providing precise and controlled application of sealant, thus enhancing procedural efficiency and safety.

Abstract

The present invention provides a device and method for sealing a vascular puncture site using a plug or sealant. [Solution] The device includes a frame 114, and a spring 101 may be provided within the device to apply a biasing force that biases the frame 114 proximal to the outer housing 112 and the deployment actuator 170, and therefore the spring 101 also applies a biasing force that biases the outer housing and the deployment actuator 170 distal to the frame 114. The frame 114 may include a deployment mechanism 115 (e.g., a slot or groove) that can engage with a portion of the deployment actuator 170.
