Abstract
Abstract A device is proposed for inserting hemostatic material through a tissue channel and against the outside wall of a blood vessel of a patient, wherein the blood vessel wall has a puncture therein adjacent the tissue channel. The device includes a charge of hemostatic material and a hollow sheath adapted to pass through the tissue channel, the sheath having a cross sectional profile larger than the puncture. The device places the hemostatic material in the hollow sheath and advances the hemostatic material through the sheath to the outside of the vessel wall around the puncture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A device for inserting hemostatic material through a tissue channel and toward the outside wall of a blood vessel of a patient, said blood vessel having a puncture therein, comprising (a) hemostatic material; (b) a hollow insertion sheath adapted to pass through said tissue channel and having an inner diameter sized for slidably receiving said hemostatic material; (c) a pusher for advancing said hemostatic material through said hollow insertion sheath to a position outside of said vessel wall; and (d) preventing means for preventing said hemostatic material from entering the blood vessel through the puncture as said hemostatic material is advanced into contact with the vessel wall so it is never freely exposed within the blood vessel.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A device for inserting hemostatic material through a tissue channel and toward the outside wall of a blood vessel of a patient, said blood vessel having a puncture therein, comprising (a) hemostatic material; (b) a hollow insertion sheath adapted to pass through said tissue channel and having an inner diameter sized for slidably receiving said hemostatic material; (c) a pusher for advancing said hemostatic material through said hollow insertion sheath to a position outside of said vessel wall; and (d) preventing means for preventing said hemostatic material from entering the blood vessel through the puncture as said hemostatic material is advanced into contact with the vessel wall so it is never freely exposed within the blood vessel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a tissue dilator, wherein said insertion sheath is adapted to fit over said tissue dilator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the puncture has a first width and said dilator has a width greater than said first width.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said preventing means comprises the puncture having a first width and the hemostatic material having a width greater than said first width.
