Abstract
A system for performing vascular hemostasis comprises a balloon insertable into a tissue track so as to be disposed outside a vessel above an opening formed in the vessel. A hemostasis layer is removably disposed on at least a portion of an outer surface of the balloon. A balloon tube is fluidly coupled to the balloon and configured to selectively inflate or deflate the balloon. The balloon is inflatable above the opening such that the hemostasis layer is disposed on the outer surface of the vessel and closes the opening. The hemostasis layer is separable from the balloon so as to remain disposed on the outer surface of the vessel when the balloon is removed from the tissue track, and continues to close the opening after removal of the balloon.
