Abstract
A method is provided for operating a vascular closure device assembly that includes a sheath having a sheath main body defining a beveled distal end and a sheath mounting portion, a housing within which the sheath mounting portion is disposed, and a dilator engaging the sheath through the housing. The method includes: inserting at least a portion of the dilator into the housing such that the dilator moves the sheath into a first configuration in which a tip of the beveled distal end is located on a side corresponding to a side of a vessel in which an opening is located; inserting the tip into the vessel; and displacing the dilator axially away from the housing such that the dilator causes the sheath to rotate move into a second configuration in which the tip of the beveled distal end is located on a side opposite the side of the vessel.
