Abstract
Systems and methods convey a closure material into a catheter to seal a puncture site in a blood vessel. The closure material comprises a mixture of first and second components which, upon mixing, undergo a reaction to form a solid closure material composition. The systems and methods assure ease of delivery and effective mixing of the components to create an in situ barrier at the puncture site.
