ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for achieving hemostasis in a puncture tract that is created during a medical procedure. The puncture typically extends from the epidermis to the vasculature in a living organism. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes (1) a plug for subcutaneous placement within the puncture tract, and (2) a delivery mechanism for delivering and maintaining the plug within the puncture tract until hemostasis is achieved. The apparatus also includes in some embodiments a lubricious sheath that is placed around the plug to facilitate the insertion of the plug into the puncture tract.
