CA 2662972

A method and apparatus for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug. The method and apparatus provide for a tamping device that is coilable in some configurations and stiff and straight in other configurations. The coilable tamping device may also automatically tamp the sealing plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site. The automatic uncoiling and tamping is facilitated by transducing a motive force generated by the withdrawal of the apparatus into a tamping force.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à la fermeture d'une ponction ou d'une incision percutanée dans un tissu séparant deux parties internes de l'organisme d'un être vivant par une ancre, un bouchon d'obturation et un filament qui relie l'ancre et le bouchon d'obturation. Le procédé et l'appareil fournissent un dispositif de tassement qui est enroulable dans certaines configurations et raide et droit dans d'autres configurations. Le dispositif de tassement enroulable peut également tasser automatiquement le bouchon d'obturation lorsque l'appareil est retiré du site de ponction. Le déroulement et le tassement automatiques sont facilités par la transduction d'une force motrice, générée par le retrait de l'appareil, en une force de tassement.
