Abstract
A radial compression band employs a substantially rigid U-like cuff that fits over a patient's arm and then snaps onto a tightening band. A movable bubble member is positioned for movement along the band separate from the attachment to the patient and is inflatable to provide pressure to an incision or the like to accomplish hemostasis. A plural bubble member version provides multiple pressure application positions.
Claims23
A hemostasis device, comprising:
- an attachment device for securing the hemostasis device to a patient, said attachment device comprising a substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band adapted to be secured to the patient's wrist wherein the band fits over the patient's wrist where the wrist is received in an open central portion of the band to maintain a pressure applied to the patient's wrist and carrying:
- a first positionable inflatable pressure application member movable along a first extent of the substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band for positioning over a first site on the patient,
- wherein said substantially rigid substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band acts as a hinge, keeping pressure from being applied to the entire wrist of the patient's arm, allowing specific pressure application where needed by the first positionable inflatable pressure application member, which mimics pressure applied by a finger by medical personnel, as is done when no hemostasis device is available,
- wherein said substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band has at least one slot defined along a portion which interacts with the first positionable inflatable pressure application member for defining the first extent along which said first positionable inflatable pressure application member may be moved,
- wherein said substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band comprises first engagement members and said first positionable inflatable pressure application member comprises second engagement members, wherein upon inflation of the first positionable inflatable pressure application member, the first and second engagement members interact to secure the first positionable inflatable pressure application member against movement along said at least one slot.
2 more elements
A hemostasis wrist band comprising:
- a substantially rigid partial cuff member, having a U shape, to fit over a patient's wrist therein said substantially rigid partial cuff member having a first slot defined at a first portion of a first edge of the substantially rigid partial cuff member and a second slot defined at a first portion of a second edge of the substantially rigid partial cuff member;
- a first positionable inflatable pressure bubble member adapted to slide along a first portion of the cuff member for positioning of the first pressure bubble member over a first desired pressure application location,
- wherein said first positionable inflatable pressure bubble member slides in an area that is defined by said first and second slots.
A hemostasis device, comprising:
- an attachment device for securing the hemostasis device to a patient, said attachment device comprising a substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band adapted to be secured to the patient's wrist wherein the band fits over the patient's wrist where the wrist is received in an open central portion of the band to maintain a pressure applied to the patient's wrist and carrying:
- a first positionable inflatable pressure application member movable along a first extent of the substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band for positioning over a first site on the patient,
- wherein said substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band has at least one slot defined along a portion which interacts with the first positionable inflatable pressure application member for defining a guiding track to provide an extent along which said first positionable inflatable pressure application member may be moved,
- wherein said substantially U-shaped substantially rigid band comprises first engagement members and said first positionable inflatable pressure application member comprises second engagement members, wherein upon inflation of the first positionable inflatable pressure application member, the first and second engagement members interact to secure the first positionable inflatable pressure application member against movement along said at least one slot.
