Some embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for achieving hemostasis in a puncture tract. Such a tract might have been created during a medical procedure, operation or a traumatic injury. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a bandage for placement within the puncture tract. The apparatus also includes a stem with a distal end. In some embodiments, the bandage couples to the distal end of the stem. In other embodiments, the bandage couples to the entire length of the stem. Along with the bandage, the stem's distal end is at least partially inserted into the puncture tract in some embodiments. In other embodiments, only the bandage is inserted into the puncture tract. The bandage is typically maintained within the puncture tract until hemostasis is achieved. Once hemostasis has been achieved, the operator removes the bandage from the puncture tract.

Some embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for achieving hemostasis in a puncture tract that is created during a medical procedure. The puncture typically extends from the epidermis to the vasculature in a living organism. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes (1) a plug for subcutaneous placement within the puncture tract, and (2) a delivery mechanism for delivering and maintaining the plug within the puncture tract until hemostasis is achieved. The apparatus also includes in some embodiments a lubricious sheath that is placed around the plug to facilitate the insertion of the plug into the puncture tract.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a guidewire directed vascular sealing device for securing hemostasis within a vascular puncture and puncture tract extending from the epidermis into a blood vessel in a living being. In some instances, the puncture tract is created by a percutaneous access apparatus used in the performance of medical catheter based diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a hemostatic compound or material designed to facilitate clot formation within the tract.

Some embodiments of the invention disclose an apparatus for achieving rapid mechanical fusion between two adjacent vertebral bodies by positioning a fusion member with one or more channels between the two vertebral bodies. Once the fusion member properly positioned, one or more needles are passed through the fusion member's channels and advanced into the marrow space of the adjacent vertebral bodies. Each needle has a lumen for receiving adhesive material and supplying said material to the marrow space of the adjacent vertebral bodies. The adhesive material is for adhesively bonding the needle to the adjacent vertebral bodies. In some embodiments, a needle also has various surface contours along its shaft, including angled teeth and backfacing ridges.

Some embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for achieving hemostasis in a puncture tract in a patient (e.g., a human or animal). Such a tract might have been created during a medical procedure or operation. Alternatively, the tract might be a result of a traumatic injury (e.g., injury that occurred outside of a hospital) that created a traumatic wound, such as a bullet wound, shrapnel or knife puncture. The puncture typically extends from the epidermis to the vasculature and/or internal organs in a living organism. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes (1) a bandage for inserting at least partially into a puncture tract to achieve hemostasis, and (2) a strap for maintaining the bandage on a part of a patient (e.g., a part of a human or animal such as appendage, torso, extremity, etc.). The strap maintains the bandage within the puncture tract at a particular pressure in some embodiments. The bandage and strap are removed from the patient after a time period (e.g., once hemostasis is achieved).
