ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for closing a wound in a vessel wall of a patient includes an elongated member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion spaced from the proximal end portion in a longitudinal direction. First needle lumens extend in the elongated member between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion. A tip is disposed near the distal end portion of the elongated member and includes second needle lumen portions aligned with the first needle lumens. The tip is spaced apart from the elongated member in the longitudinal direction to form a recess between the tip and the elongated member for receiving the vessel wall.
