A hemostatic device, the hemostatic device comprising:
- a bracelet for enclosing a limb of a patient;
- a compression element mounted to the bracelet and defining a compression surface for compressing against the patient, the compression element being movable relative thereto the bracelet so that a distance between the bracelet and the compression surface is varied when the bracelet and compression element are moved relative to each other;
- and
- an actuator for selectively moving the compression element relative to the bracelet between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the compression surface is closer to the bracelet in the retracted position than in the extended position;
- and
- a lock for selectively locking the compression element and bracelet relative to each other so as to prevent movements between the retracted and extended positions;
- wherein the bracelet includes a base defining substantially opposed base first and second ends, the compression element further including a compression pad defining the compression surface, the actuator engaging the base and the compression pad so that the actuator is usable to vary a distance between the compression pad and the base;
- wherein the base defines an actuator mounting aperture extending therethrough, the actuator mounting aperture being threaded, the actuator including a threaded stem threadedly engaging the actuator mounting aperture and also engaging the compression pad so that rotating the threaded stem relative to the base changes a distance between the compression pad and the base;
- wherein the lock includes a pin mounted to the actuator so as to be movable relative to the threaded stem, the base defining lock apertures formed in the base facing the pin, the lock apertures being provided in one of a generally circular shaped configuration and a generally arc segment shaped configuration centred on the actuator mounting aperture, the lock apertures being configured and sized to receive the pin so that with the pin received in one of the lock apertures, rotation of the threaded stem relative to the base is prevented, and with the pin withdrawn from the lock apertures, the threaded stem is rotatable relative to the base.
