ABSTRACT:
A device for sealing openings in anatomical structures comprises a longitudinal member including a proximal portion having a longitudinal suture channel extending therethrough and a central portion, wherein the suture channel extends through the central portion to a suture opening formed in the central portion distal end and a distal portion coupled to the central portion distal end. A plurality of needle channels extend substantially longitudinally through the distal portion from the distal portion proximal end and, in an initial configuration, each of needle channel incldes a needle with a length of suture forming a suture loop coupled between respective pairs of needles, so that, when the suture loop is pulled in a proximal direction, the length of suture pulls each of the needles to which the length of suture is coupled from the initial position to a deployed position in which proximal ends of each of the needles coupled to the length of suture extend outside the corresponding needle channels.
