Claim 2:
3. The vascular closure assembly of claim 2 wherein the balloon inflation valve comprises:
a plug which has an outer surface contour that is matched to an inner surface contour of the balloon inflation lumen so as to prevent a flow of fluid therethrough and be slidably disposed within the balloon inflation lumen,
an actuator rod which has a distal end secured to the plug, and
a balloon inflation lever which is operatively coupled to a proximal end of the actuator rod, which is disposed on a proximal chassis of the inner catheter assembly, and which is slidable from a first position wherein the plug is disposed distal of the inflation port of the balloon inflation lumen thereby blocking fluid communication between the inlet portion and inflation port of the balloon inflation lumen, to a second position, the second position being proximal of the first position and proximal of the inflation port so as to allow fluid communication between the inlet port and inflation port through the balloon inflation lumen.
