ABSTRACT:
A vessel plug having a handle which include a proximal end and a distal end, a flange attached to the distal end of the handle, and a tip extending distally beyond the flange. In use, the flange and the tip are shaped to engage an opening of a blood vessel, provide occlusion to the opening of the vessel to block the blood flow, thereby achieving hemostasis. The plug may be sutureless, providing a seal by the operation of a flange which includes vacuum ports or adhesive material. Alternatively, sutures may be placed around the flange. Methods of using the sutureless vessel plug are also disclosed herein.
