Abstract
A device to seal an incision in a blood vessel includes an inner member and an outer member. A suture connects the inner member and the outer member. A first portion of the suture is embedded within a second portion of the suture such that as tension in the suture increases the first and second portions are held together. According to certain embodiments, the second portion is not part of a first suture portion, and both the first and second portions are used to retain the outer member in place. A method of making such a device is also described.
