Patent ID: 8858591

Claim:
A device for sealing a puncture hole in a bodily organ, the device comprising: an inner member adapted for positioning against an inner surface of the bodily organ; an outer member adapted for positioning against a corresponding outer surface of the bodily organ; and an elongated retaining member; wherein the inner member is arranged at a distal end of the elongated retaining member and the outer member is movable along the elongated retaining member, wherein the outer member in a first state is arranged to have a first dimension enabling, after having been deployed inside the bodily organ through the puncture hole, retraction of the outer member out of the puncture hole, wherein the outer member has a compressible and resilient structure such that the outer member is reducible in size in a radial direction of the outer member when in the first state, wherein the outer member is arranged to be engaged in a locking arrangement with the elongated retaining member such that the outer member can be moved distally along the elongated retaining member and fixed in a locked position at the outer surface of the bodily organ, wherein the outer member in a second state is arranged to have a second dimension enabling sealing of the puncture hole by at least one of the inner member and the outer member when in the locked position, wherein the outer member has a first through-hole and a second through-hole, wherein the elongated retaining member passes through the first and second through-holes, and wherein, when in an undeformed condition, the outer member has the first through-hole extending in a longitudinal direction and the second through-hole extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
