Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a device for placing styptic material, in particular of fibrous or spongy form, on perforated blood vessels, in particular arteries. A tube arrangement is provided which consists at least of a plug holder (2) and a thin-walled sheath (1) connected therewith which serves to guide the styptic material onto a perforation of a blood vessel. The device also comprises a pusher (3) which is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable in the tube arrangement, and a tissue dilator (10) guided in the tube arrangement essentially free of play, the tissue dilator having an outer diameter greater than that of the perforation and a coaxial guide channel (11).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
Device for placing styptic material, in particular of a fibrous or spongelike form, onto perforated blood vessels, in particular arteries, characterized by - a tube arrangement consisting at least of a plug holder (2) and a thin-walled sheath (1) connected therewith for guiding the styptic material to a perforation in a blood vessel, - a pusher (3) insertable into the tube arrangement to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction, and - a tissue dilator (10) guidable in the tube arrangement essentially without play, the tissue dilator (10) having an outer diameter greater than that of the perforation, and a coaxial guiding channel (11).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
