Sealing plug for an opening in a wall of a vessel or hollow organ of an animal or human body, especially a blood vessel, comprising a sealing means insertable into the opening, which seals the same, and retaining means arranged on the sealing means, which anchor the sealing means in the wall.
Surgery kit for sealing an opening in a wall of a vessel or hollow organ of an animal or human body, especially a blood vessel, comprising a sleeve which can be inserted into a sluice tube placed in the opening, a sealing plug which is arranged in the sleeve, and a pusher to push the sealing plug out of the sleeve.
Device for the application of a sealing plug into an opening in a wall of a vessel or hollow organ of an animal or human body, especially a blood vessel, comprising a sleeve for inserting into a sluice tube which is disposed in the opening, whereby the sleeve is constructed to receive a sealing plug, and a pusher for pushing the sealing plug out of the sleeve.
Method for percutaneously sealing of openings in walls of vessels or hollow organs of a human or an animal body, especially of arterial or venous puncture sites, comprising the steps:
- (a) inserting a sluice tube into the opening;
- (b) providing a sealing plug in a sleeve;
- (c) inserting the sleeve with the sealing plug provided therein, into the sluice tube;
