1. An article comprising:
- an elongate member having an exterior surface and an interior lumen through which surgical implements can be placed when said elongate member is placed in a wall of an internal organ;
a hemostatic material in contact with at least a portion of said exterior surface;
a covering that surrounds said hemostatic material and is adapted to move slidably over said elongate member;
said exterior surface of said elongate member having a plurality of channels for retaining hemostatic material;
said exterior surface being inflatable to apply pressure along the interior of said wall of said internal organ at the sight of hemostatic material retention after said covering is slidably removed; and
said elongate member configured to achieve hemostasis by the simultaneous application of said hemostatic material and said pressure exerted by said exterior surface of said elongate member while surgery on said bodily organ is performed.

5. An article comprising:
-
an inflatable elongate member having an exterior surface and an interior lumen through which surgical implements can be placed when said elongate member is placed in a wall of kidney; hemostatic material on said exterior surface; a plastic film surrounding said hemostatic material configured to be broken and removed for deployment of said hemostatic material along a course of said percutaneous tract; and said exterior surface of said elongate member configured to apply pressure along the percutaneous tract of said kidney upon inflation of said elongate member; said exterior surface configured to retain said hemostatic material at said location of applied pressure to achieve hemostasis after said plastic film is removed and while surgery is performed on said kidney using said surgical instruments. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
