First Claim
Patent Images
1. An assembly for sealing an incision in the body of a patient wherein the incision extends from the skin of the patient into a blood vessel, duct, lumen or body cavity of the patient, the assembly comprising;
- a first member formed of a bioabsorbable material and sized to be positioned in the blood vessel, duct or lumen of the patient;
a second member formed of a bioabsorbable and injectable liquid hemostasis promoting material and said second member is formed to cooperatively seal the incision from the flow of fluids therethrough in combination with said first member; and
a third member extending proximally from said first member and having greater flexibility than said first member.

Abstract
A bioabsorbable assembly for sealing an incision or puncture in the body of the patient including a first member which is positioned generally along the wall of the blood vessel, duct, body cavity or lumen of the patient and a gelatinous material which is injected into the incision or puncture around a filament or clip member which is associated with the first member to seal the incision or puncture from the flow of fluids through the blood vessel, duct or lumen of the patient and the method therefore.

18. A method of sealing an incision formed in the body of a patient wherein the incision extends generally from the skin of a patient into a selected blood vessel of the patient, the method comprising;
-
inserting a first member through the incision to a location generally adjacent to the wall of the blood vessel and causing a third member which is more flexible than the first member to extend proximally from the first member into the incision; and then injecting a gelatinous hemostasis promoting material into the incision such that the gelatinous material is positioned in the incision proximally of the first member and generally adjacent to the third member to seal the incision from the flow of blood passing through the blood vessel. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method of sealing an incision formed in the body of a patient wherein the incision extends generally from the skin of a patient into a selected blood vessel of the patient, the method comprising;
-
inserting a first member into the incision to a location generally adjacent to the wall of the blood vessel; and injecting a gelatinous material into the incision using a syringe assembly such that the gelatinous material is positioned in the incision proximally of the first member to seal the incision from the flow of blood passing through the blood vessel by inserting the syringe assembly into the incision along a filament member to insert the distal end portion of the syringe assembly into the incision at a desired location and then ejecting the gelatinous material therefrom.
