Summary:A haemostasis device comprises a low pressure seal and a high pressure seal. A tubular bayonet is movable from a retracted configuration to an inserted configuration to move the low pressure seal between a closed configuration and an open configuration. With the low pressure seal in the open configuration, a guidewire may be inserted through the low pressure seal, and with the low pressure seal in the closed configuration, the guidewire may be passed through the low pressure seal while maintaining sealing around the guidewire. A collet is movable in a radial direction to move the high pressure seal between an open configuration and a sealing configuration. With the high pressure seal in the sealing configuration, the guidewire is locked in position.
