Abstract:
1. A method for sealing a puncture of a vessel using a locator device configured to extend through a distal end of an injection tube such that the injection tube houses at least a portion of the locator device and the injection tube and the locator device are substantially coaxial, the injection tube including a sidewall that includes at least one discharge port extending therethrough proximate the distal end of the injection tube, said method comprising: advancing the locator device into the vessel until a first fluid is channeled through a first lumen defined by an inner surface of the locator device; actuating a device valve to selectively restrict the first fluid from being channeled through the first lumen; injecting a second fluid through a second lumen defined by an outer surface of the locator device and an inner surface of the injection tube; discharging the second fluid through the at least one discharge port to facilitate sealing a puncture of the vessel; and withdrawing the hemostatic device from the vessel.
