Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and systems for junctional hemorrhage control and pelvic stabilization are provided. The hemorrhage control plate includes a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly. It is positioned against a patient's body such that it aligns with an artery. It is used in connection with a tourniquet to occlude blood flow at a junctional hemorrhage site. The device includes tabs to attach to the tourniquet.
Claims24
A hemorrhage control plate comprising:
- a baseplate;
- a bulbous node extending outwardly from said baseplate;
- and
- a first insert tab positioned at a first end of said baseplate,
- wherein said first insert tab is configured to mate with a corresponding first slot in a tourniquet.
2 more elements
A hemorrhage control plate comprising:
- a baseplate;
- and
- a bulbous node extending outwardly from said baseplate,
- wherein said baseplate is configured to be attached to a tourniquet, and
- wherein the baseplate is configured to bend temporarily and become arcuate when the baseplate is attached to the tourniquet.
2 more elements
A method of use of a hemorrhage control plate, the method comprising:
- positioning at least one of the hemorrhage control plate against a patient's body such that a bulbous node extending outwardly from a baseplate of said at least one hemorrhage control plate is aligned with a corresponding artery associated with said patient's body;
- applying pressure to said at least one hemorrhage control plate, such that said bulbous node applies pressure on said corresponding artery;
- comprising maintaining pressure to said at least one hemorrhage control plate, such that said bulbous node maintains pressure on said corresponding artery;
- and
- attaching said at least one hemorrhage control plate to a tourniquet,
- wherein the step of attaching said at least one hemorrhage control plate to a tourniquet comprises:
- mating a first insert tab positioned at a first end of said baseplate with a corresponding first slot in the tourniquet;
- and
- mating a second insert tab positioned at a second end of said baseplate with a corresponding second slot in the tourniquet, said second end of said baseplate being opposite of said first end.
6 more elements
A method of use of a hemorrhage control plate, the method comprising:
- positioning at least one of the hemorrhage control plate against a patient's body such that a bulbous node extending outwardly from a baseplate of said at least one hemorrhage control plate is aligned with a corresponding artery associated with said patient's body;
- applying pressure to said at least one hemorrhage control plate, such that said bulbous node applies pressure on said corresponding artery;
- comprising maintaining pressure to said at least one hemorrhage control plate, such that said bulbous node maintains pressure on said corresponding artery;
- attaching said at least one hemorrhage control plate to a tourniquet;
- and
- bending temporarily the baseplate such that the baseplate becomes arcuate when the hemorrhage control plate is attached to the tourniquet.
3 more elements
A hemorrhage control system comprising:
- a tourniquet configured to receive at least one hemorrhage control plate, said at least one hemorrhage control plate having a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly from said baseplate, said bulbous node configured to be positioned against a patient's body such that said bulbous node aligns with an artery associated with said patient's body;
- and
- a first insert tab positioned at a first end of said baseplate, a second insert tab positioned at a second end of said baseplate, said second end opposite said first end, wherein said first insert tab is configured to mate with a corresponding first slot in the tourniquet and said second insert tab is configured to mate with a corresponding second slot in the tourniquet.
A hemorrhage control system comprising:
- a tourniquet configured to receive at least one hemorrhage control plate, said at least one hemorrhage control plate having a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly from said baseplate, said bulbous node configured to be positioned against a patient's body such that said bulbous node aligns with an artery associated with said patient's body,
- wherein the baseplate is configured to bend temporarily and become arcuate when said first and second insert tabs are mated with said corresponding first and second slots in the tourniquet.
