Patent ID: 7850654

Claim:
A device for positioning a vascular wound closure device comprising: a sheath having a distal end and a proximal end, a sealing device being insertable through the sheath; a first detection orifice in the sheath near the distal end; a second detection orifice in the sheath near the distal end; a first locator orifice in the sheath near the proximal end, and a second locator orifice in the sheath near the proximal end, wherein the first detection orifice is in fluid communication with the first locator orifice such that when the first detection orifice is disposed within the blood vessel and exposed to blood flow, such blood flow is indicated at the first locator orifice; and wherein the second detection orifice is in fluid communication with the second locator orifice such that when the second detection orifice is disposed within the blood vessel and exposed to blood flow, such blood flow is indicated at the second locator orifice.
