Hemostatic Pressure Plug

1 . An apparatus to intervascularly promote hemostasis at a blood vessel puncture site having an inner lumen pressure and an outer lumen pressure, comprising:

a flexible plug having a center, a top surface, and a bottom surface; and

a release mechanism including a hemostatic material coupled to the center of the flexible plug and a resilient extension member coupled to the hemostatic material opposite the flexible plug, the release mechanism positioning and releasing the flexible plug intervascularly at the blood vessel puncture site;

wherein the inner lumen pressure is greater than the outer lumen pressure.

2 - 26 . (canceled)

27 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the hemostatic material is encapsulated in a biocompatible dissolvable capsule.

28 . The apparatus of claim 27 further comprising a suture looped through the aperture.

29 . An apparatus to position and release a flexible plug at a blood vessel puncture site, comprising:

a first connector having a lumen, a first end, second end, a first notch positioned neat the second end, said first connector first end coupled to a center of the flexible plug;

a second connector having a lumen, a top, a bottom, and a second notch positioned near the bottom;

wherein the second connector bottom is received by the first notch and the first connector second end is received by the second notch.

30 . The apparatus of claim 29 further comprising a guidewire received by the second connector lumen and the first connector lumen to secure the first connector and the second connector together.

31 . The apparatus of claim 29 wherein the first connector further comprises an entrance port positioned substantially near the first end to receive a flow of blood from the blood vessel.

32 . The apparatus of claim 31 wherein the second connector further comprises an exit port positioned substantially near the second end top, wherein the flow of blood entering the entrance port exits.

33 . The apparatus of claim 29 further comprising a hemostatic material coupled to the first connector first end.

34 - 39 . (canceled)

40 . An apparatus to promote hemostasis at a blood vessel puncture site having an inner lumen pressure and an outer lumen pressure, comprising:

a flexible disk to intervascularly seal a blood vessel puncture site;

a hemostatic body to intravascularly seal the blood vessel puncture site; and

a connector to couple the flexible disk to the hemostatic body, the connector positioned within a wall of the blood vessel puncture site;

wherein the inner lumen pressure is greater than the outer lumen pressure to forceably secure said flexible disk around the blood vessel puncture site.

41 . The apparatus of claim 40 wherein the connector has a smaller diameter than a flexible disk diameter and a hemostatic body diameter.

42 . The apparatus of claim 40 further comprising a release mechanism coupled to the hemostatic body.

43 . The apparatus of claim 42 wherein the release mechanism is a suture having a first end secured with an adhesive to the hemostatic body.

44 . The apparatus of claim 40 wherein the release mechanism comprises a resilient extension member coupled to the center of the hemostatic body, the resilient extension member having an aperture at a top.

45 . The apparatus of claim 44 further comprising a suture looped through the aperture.

46 . The apparatus of claim 44 wherein the resilient extension member is made of hemostatic material.

47 . The apparatus of claim 46 wherein the extension member is encapsulated with a biocompatible dissolvable capsule.

48 . The apparatus of claim 44 wherein the resilient extension member further comprises a hemostatic material positioned at a center of the resilient extension member.

49 . The apparatus of claim 48 wherein the resilient extension member is encapsulated with a biocompatible dissolvable capsule.
