Claim 30:
31. The vascular closure assembly of claim 26 wherein the filament lock comprises a tubular structure including a main body portion and also including a plurality of fingers extending proximally from the main body portion, the fingers being of sufficient axial length and elastically biased towards a center longitudinal axis of the main body portion such that respective distal ends of the fingers are configured to be self-contracting from an expanded state to a relaxed state and clamp onto the filaments disposed within the inner lumen of the filament lock when the fingers are in the relaxed state and the fingers may be elastically spread to a relative transverse separation to the expanded state sufficient to fit onto an outer surface of the distal end of the filament tube.
