Abstract
A method for sealing a tissue puncture that includes inserting into the puncture a device with needle exit and entry openings separated by a tissue receiving gap, positioning the device so that the tissue is located in the tissue receiving gap distally from the needle exit opening and proximally from the needle entry opening and inserting a first needle coupled to a first portion of suture distally through the device through the tissue and into the needle entry lumen. The device is then rotated to a second portion of tissue and a second needle is inserted distally through the device through the second portion of tissue and into the needle entry lumen. The device is withdrawn from the patient and the suture is tightened to seal the puncture.
