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and apparatus provide for disengagable automatic tamping and/or cinching of the sealing plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site. The disengagable automatic tamping and/or cinching is facilitated by transducing a motive force generated by the withdrawal of the apparatus into a tamping and/or cinching force.
L'invention porte sur des procédés et un appareil qui permettent de fermer hermétiquement une perforation ou une incision formée de manière percutanée dans les tissus séparant deux parties internes du corps d'un être vivant à l'aide d'une ancre, d'un bouchon d'étanchéité et d'un filament reliant l'ancre au bouchon d'étanchéité. Les procédés et l'appareil précités permettent de tasser et/ou serrer, de manière automatique et libérable, le bouchon d'étanchéité lorsque l'on retire l'appareil du site de perforation. On peut faciliter le tassement et/ou serrage automatique libérable par la transduction d'une force motrice produite par le retrait de l'appareil en une force de tassement et/ou serrage.
