Abstract
A vascular closure device is configured to seal a puncture in an artery or vein. The vascular closure device includes a deployment assembly having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, a suture carried by the deployment assembly, and a footplate carried by the deployment assembly and coupled to the suture. The footplate is configured to exit the distal end of the deployment assembly for deployment in the puncture. The vascular closure device includes a retraction assembly coupled to the footplate, the retraction assembly configured to, after deployment of the footplate, retract the footplate in a proximal direction.
