Claim Text:
1. A device for enhancing the hemostasis of a puncture site in a body lumen or tract, the device comprising: an outer tubular body having a proximal end and, a distal end, and a lumen extending there between; an inner tubular body longitudinally movable within the lumen of the outer tubular body, said inner tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner lumen extending there between; an expansible member connected between the distal ends of internal tubular body and the external tubular body, wherein said expansible member can be shifted between an expanded configuration for sealing against a blood vessel wall penetration and an unexpanded configuration; and a seal or syringe/hemostatic valve connector having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the seal or syringe/hemostatic valve connector being fixedly attached to the proximal end of the inner tubular member, said seal or syringe/hemostatic valve connector being configured to provide for fluid delivery or blood removal through the inner lumen of the inner tubular body, the inner lumen of the inner tubular body terminating in the proximal direction with the distal end of the seal or syringe/hemostatic valve connector at the proximal end of the inner tubular body.
