Abstract
A device for sealing a puncture in a patient includes a sealing component including an elongate control member configured to pass through a puncture in skin of a patient. The sealing component also includes an expandable member disposed near a distal end of the control member, and a tip releasably attached to the elongate control member distal to the expandable member. The device also includes a sealing material delivery component including a delivery tube through which the control member of the sealing component is configured to extend. The delivery tube is configured to deliver sealing material through an opening in a distal end of the delivery tube.
Claims35
A device for sealing a puncture in a patient, the device including:
- a complete delivery device to deliver components to a vascular closure area, the delivery device, prior to delivery of components, comprising:
- a sealing component including:
- an elongate control member configured to pass through a puncture in skin of a patient,
- an expandable member disposed near a distal end of the elongate control member, and
- a tip releasably attached to the elongate control member distal to the expandable member;
- and
- a sealing material delivery component including:
- a delivery tube through which the elongate control member of the sealing component is configured to extend, the delivery tube being configured to deliver sealing material through an opening in a distal end of the delivery tubes;
- wherein the tip is configured to be detached from the elongate control member and remain within the sealing material.
A sealing component for sealing a puncture in a patient, the sealing component including:
- a complete delivery device to deliver components to a vascular closure area, the delivery device, prior to delivery of components, comprising:
- an elongate control member configured to pass through a puncture in skin of a patient;
- an expandable member mounted to a distal end of the elongate control member;
- a sealing material;
- and
- a tip releasably attached to the elongate control member at a location distal to the expandable member and configured to be detached from the expandable member and remain within the sealing material at the puncture to at least partially seal the puncture.
