Vascular closure device with retraction assembly for repositioning a footplate

A vascular closure device configured to seal a puncture in an artery or vein, the vascular closure device comprising:

• a deployment assembly having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end;
• a suture carried by the deployment assembly;
• a footplate carried by the deployment assembly and coupled to the suture, wherein the footplate is configured to exit the distal end of the deployment assembly for deployment in the puncture;
• a retraction assembly coupled to the footplate, the retraction assembly configured to, after deployment of the footplate, retract the footplate in a proximal direction and comprising:
• a tether;
• a guide member with a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen that extends from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the lumen is configured to receive a guidewire therethrough;
• wherein
• the footplate includes an aperture through which the distal end of the guide member extends,
• the guide member includes a footplate engagement member extending outward from a body of the guide member and configured to abut the footplate, and
• retraction of the tether and abutment of the footplate engagement member with a proximal surface of the footplate causes a trailing end of the footplate to pivot back toward the distal end of the deployment assembly.
