Abstract:
1. An assembly for closing a vascular wound, comprising: a hemostatic material; a delivery tube configured to accommodate the hemostatic material therewithin, the delivery tube having a proximal end and a distal end; an apparatus configured to position the distal end of the delivery tube adjacent a vascular wound; a pusher member having a distal portion configured to fit at least partially through the proximal end of the delivery tube, wherein a portion of the pusher member has a diameter larger than a diameter of at least a portion of the delivery tube, wherein the pusher member defines a canal that extends from a proximal end of the pusher member to a distal end of the pusher member, wherein the pusher member comprises a distal coupling member disposed proximal to a transition portion adjacent to the distal portion, wherein the distal coupling member comprises a generally hemispherical raised portion; a catheter having a tapered distal portion and at least one catheter hole proximal the tapered distal portion of the catheter, wherein the canal is configured to slidably receive the catheter therethrough; a stop member disposed about a surface of the catheter; and a coupling member movably disposed about the catheter and configured to engage the stop member and engage a proximal coupling member on the pusher member to releasably couple the catheter and pusher member.
