Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9831287A1] This invention is a device (18) and method of closing an incision or puncture in a patient by inserting a closure device into the incision or puncture until the anchor member of the closure device is along the wall of the blood vessel (10), or target organ adjacent to the puncture so that the closure device does not significantly obstruct the flow of fluid through the blood vessel or target organ, and then positioning a collagen member (28) along the outer surface of the blood vessel or target organ. The precise positioning of the closure device in the incision or puncture is accomplished through the use of an anchor member (26) which is preferably integral with a rod member (22) wherein the anchor member is adapted to be positioned along the inner wall of the blood vessel or target organ of the patient, and the rod member extends through the puncture and receives the expandable collagen member thereon.
