Abstract
The present invention is for an arterial closure device which can be used to implement and augment the closure of a femoral artery or other related, adjacent or similar members of the vasculature and to reduce compression times associated therewith. A resorbable tubular plug is introduced through a delivery sheath subsequent to a procedure in which the delivery sheath is first utilized. The resorbable tubular plug is inserted through the delivery sheath and the distal tip of the resorbable tubular plug is positioned a short distance into the artery, whereby a suitable entry can be indicated by blood flow through and from the resorbable tubular plug. The delivery sheath is withdrawn to expose the resorbable tubular plug to the tissue track and to the arteriotomy and manual compression is applied to the wound site to foster and promote hemostasis.
