ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for controlled sealant closure, visualization and evaluation of an anterior arteriotomy site in a patient by means of a fiberoptic system in combination with a radiant energy sensitive synthetic human or non-human base sealant. The sealant material undergoes a reaction in which the property of the sealant is converted from liquid to solid or semi-solid, with the reaction being triggered or energized by exposure to radiant energy.
