Abstract
Devices and methods for restricting the flow of blood through tissue of a human face, such as for the treatment of epistaxis, which include an insertion body configured for insertion into a human mouth; an external body configured for placement against an outer surface of the human mouth; and a structure configured to reversibly position the insertion body and external body towards and away from one another.
Claims15
A device for restricting flow of blood through tissue of a human face, the device comprising:
- an insertion body configured for insertion into a human mouth, the insertion body comprising a cutaway sized to receive a labial frenum of the human mouth;
- an external body configured for placement against an outer surface of the human mouth;
- and
- a structure configured to reversibly position the insertion body and external body towards and away from one another.
1 more element
A method of restricting flow of blood through tissue of a human face, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising an insertion body, an external body, and a structure configured to hold the insertion body and external body towards one another at a force sufficient to restrict blood flow through vasculature of the face when positioned therebetween;
- and
- positioning the insertion body inside a mouth and the external body outside of the mouth to abut opposing surfaces of the mouth, thereby compressing the vasculature of the face to restrict the flow of blood.
