1. A puncture sealing system for sealing a vascular puncture, the system comprising:
an inner member comprising an expandable member at an inner member distal end and an inflation lumen that extends from an inner member proximal end to an interior of the expandable member, wherein the inner member further comprises a vessel locator system comprising a lumen extending from one or more vessel locator distal holes to a vessel locator proximal hole, wherein the one or more vessel locator distal holes are positioned on the inner member proximal to the expandable member and within about 3 mm of the expandable member; and
an outer member comprising a lumen sized and shaped to allow the inner member to slide therein, an occlusion balloon at an outer member distal end, and an inflation lumen that extends from an outer member proximal end to the interior of the occlusion balloon,
wherein the expandable member can be inflated by fluid flowing through the inner member inflation lumen so that the expandable member can inflate in a subcutaneous vessel of a living being, and wherein the occlusion balloon can be inflated by fluid flowing through the outer member inflation lumen so that the occlusion balloon can apply pressure to at least a puncture tract extending from the vascular puncture.
