Abstract
Several embodiments of an intravascular hemostasis device are disclosed which in one embodiment generally comprises at least a first elongated tubular member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, and a flexible, deformable sealing member coupled to the distal end portion of the elongated tubular member which has at least a first pre-formed expanded state, the sealing member being at least partially radially compressible to at least a first compressed state for insertion of the sealing member into an opening in a blood vessel, the sealing member being radially expandable from its compressed state to its expanded state after the sealing member is inserted into the opening in the vessel in which the sealing member is adapted to seal against an inner wall of the blood vessel around the opening.
