A system which facilitates the closure of puncture wounds in the vasculature of a patient by helping locate and isolate the site of the puncture wound in the patient. A tube or catheter having an indicator hole for aspirating blood assists in locating the exact site of the wound. A retractor moves the surrounding tissue laterally forming an access path to the wound, and acts as a guide for the wound closure device. The retractor and accessories are preferably used in combination with a surgical clip applicator which delivers clips to the site of the wound, but can also be used with other methods of wound closure such as suturing and stapling.

Cette invention se rapporte à un système qui facilite la fermeture d'une plaie punctiforme dans le système vasculaire d'un patient du fait qu'il permet de localiser et d'isoler le site de la plaie punctiforme chez le patient. Un tube ou cathéter doté d'un trou indicateur conçu pour l'aspiration du sang, sert à localiser le site exact de la plaie. Un rétracteur, qui déplace les tissus avoisinants en formant latéralement un chemin d'accès à la plaie, sert de guide au dispositif de fermeture de plaie. Ledit rétracteur et les accessoires associés sont de préférence utilisés en combinaison avec un applicateur d'agrafes chirurgicales qui pose des agrafes sur le site de la plaie, mais ils peuvent également servir à d'autres procédés de fermeture de plaie, par exemple des procédés de fermeture par sutures ou agrafage.
