Abstract
A device for sealing a tissue puncture including proximal and distal portions offset by a connecting member so that a needle may exit a lumen in the proximal portion through a needle insertion opening across a tissue receiving gap and enter through a needle receiving opening into a lumen in the distal portion. The distal lumen also has an opening for a guide wire. A method for sealing a tissue puncture by inserting a device such as that described above into the puncture via a guide wire, which is removed, so that the tissue is within the tissue receiving gap, and inserting a first suture needle distally from the proximal lumen, through the tissue, and into the distal lumen. The device is then rotated and a second suture needle similarly penetrates the tissue at a second location, and the device is withdrawn and the suture is tightened.
