Abstract
A method for sealing a hole in a bodily organ includes introducing a first member and a second member into the bodily organ, the first and second members being connected by an elongated member. The first and second members are retracted proximally until the first member abuts an inner surface of the bodily organ and the second member is retracted out of the hole in the bodily organ. Then, the second member is pushed distally into abutment with an outer surface of the bodily organ. A sealing device for sealing a puncture in tissue is also described.
