Abstract
A vessel closure device is provided that may include a guide member, one or more needle guides disposed at least partially within the guide member, and an angle adjustment member movably attached to the guide member. The needle guides may be configured to move between a first position wherein the needle guides are substantially straightened at least partially within the guide member and a second position wherein the needle guides at least partially extend radially and distally away from the guide member. The angle adjustment member may be configured to move between a first position and a second position wherein the angle adjustment member can selectively deflect the needle guides radially toward the guide member when the needle guides are in the second position.
