In one illustrative example, a device for sealing an opening in a vessel wall and/or tissue tract may include an anchor, a filament, a plug, and a knot. The anchor may be configured to be disposed adjacent to an interior surface of the vessel wall adjacent the opening in the vessel wall. The filament may have a distal end coupled to the anchor and may be configured to extend proximally through the vessel opening and/or tissue tract. The plug may be disposed about at least a portion of the filament member. The knot may be disposed about the filament proximal of the plug and may be configured to move over the filament and secure the plug relative to the anchor. The knot may be independent of the filament member.

1. A method of manufacturing a device for sealing an opening in a vessel wall or tissue tract, the method comprising: obtaining an anchor member, a filament member, a plug member, a knot member, a compression bead, a hypotube having a lumen therein, and a formable collet locking ring;forming a plurality of slots in a distal end of the hypotube;attaching a distal end of the filament member to the anchor member;slidably disposing the plug member, the knot member, and the compression bead on the filament member;disposing the collet locking ring about the hypotube;obtaining a crimping fixture capable of forming the collet locking ring onto the distal end of the hypotube;disposing the anchor member, the filament member, the plug member, the knot member, the compression bead, the hypotube, and the collet locking ring into the crimping fixture such that the filament member is disposed within the distal end of the hypotube;positioning the collet locking ring about the plurality of slots in the distal end of the hypotube at a predetermined distance from the anchor member;operating the crimping fixture to form the collet locking ring onto the distal end of the hypotube;removing the device from the crimping fixture. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of disposing the plug member, the knot member, and the compression bead on the filament member includes disposing the knot member proximal of the plug member and disposing the compression bead proximal of the knot member. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of operating the crimp fixture to form the collet locking ring on the distal end of the hypotube includes forming the collet locking ring on the hypotube such that the hypotube clamps the filament member with about 2.0 to about 7.0 pounds of force. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the hypotube clamps the filament member with about 5.0 pounds of force. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of forming a plurality of slots in a distal end of the hypotube includes forming the plurality of slots by laser cutting. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of operating the crimping fixture to form the collet locking ring onto the distal end of the hypotube includes forming the collet locking ring to a predetermined maximum outside diameter. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the anchor member is configured to be disposed adjacent to an interior surface of the vessel wall adjacent the opening in the vessel wall. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the plug member comprises a bioabsorbable, hemostasis-promoting material. 9. The method of claim 2, wherein the knot member is configured to axially compress the plug member against the anchor member when the knot member is moved distally. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the knot member is independent of the filament member. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the knot member exerts a compressive force on the filament member. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the compressive force of the knot member on the filament member correlates to a friction force that is greater than a rebound force of the plug member, wherein the rebound force of the plug is a force of the plug trying to expand in the axial direction after compression 13. The method of claim 12 wherein the knot member has a friction force of at least 0.5 pounds. 14. The method of claim 12 wherein the knot member has a friction force of at least two pounds. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the collet locking ring is metal. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the collet locking ring is brass.
