Abstract
An implant for closing an arteriotomy includes a head having a proximal surface and a distal surface. A tapered plug extends from the distal surface of the head. A plurality of prongs also extends from the distal surface of the head. Upon implantation, the distal surface of the head faces an outside surface of the vessel wall, the tapered plug is disposed within the passage, and the prongs are disposed in tissue of the vessel wall surrounding the passage. The prongs may include a barb to assist in embedding the prongs in the tissue surrounding the puncture. The implant may be bioabsorbable.
