The sealing pad maintains a constant or substantially constant shape from when positioned in the carrier tube to when removed from the carrier tube and positioned adjacent to the tissue wall puncture in a post-deployment position. The suture may retain the anchor and sealing pad in contact with the tissue wall without altering a shape of the sealing pad.
