DISPOSITIF DE SCELLEMENT VASCULAIRE COMPRENANT UN BOUCHON DE SCELLEMENT A SURFACE ACTIVE IMPORTANTE

摘要

An internal tissue puncture closure method and apparatus. The method and apparatus provide a folded sealing plug that provides more surface area than conventional plugs to more fully cover and seal an external situs of an internal tissue puncture. The folded sealing plug may have a weave pattern that tends to cause the sealing plug to corkscrew into the internal tissue puncture as it is compressed toward an anchor placed inside of the tissue puncture.
