## Abstract

An emergency protocol receptacle is disclosed for puncture wounds that utilizes an endothermic reaction between non-toxic chemicals to achieve inflation for effective and faster coagulation of blood in puncture type wounds. The emergency protocol receptacle comprises a balloon, a powder capsule, and a depressible top cap. The balloon is configured to inflate due to the endothermic reaction between non-toxic chemicals to stop bleeding from a puncture wound. The powder capsule is packed inside the balloon for holding a specific amount of baking soda. The depressible top cap is fixed on top of the powder capsule for holding a specific amount of vinegar. The depressible top cap facilitates flow of the vinegar into the powder capsule when depressed, causing a mixture of the vinegar with the baking soda to initiate inflation of the balloon due to chemical reaction between the vinegar and the baking soda.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An emergency protocol receptacle for puncture wounds, comprising:
a balloon attached to an adhesive platform, wherein the adhesive platform defines an opening at a center thereof;
a powder capsule packed inside the balloon through the opening of the adhesive platform, wherein the powder capsule holds a specific amount of baking soda; and
a depressible top cap fixed on top of the powder capsule upon the adhesive platform, wherein the depressible top cap comprises a specific amount of vinegar, said depressible top cap adapted to transfer the specific amount of the vinegar into the powder capsule upon a depression of the depressible top cap by a user, wherein said transfer mixes the specific amount of the vinegar with the specific amount of baking soda to initiate inflation of the balloon due to a chemical reaction between the vinegar and the baking soda, wherein the inflated balloon is adapted to halts exsanguination in the puncture wound.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the balloon is a transparent silicon balloon.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the powder capsule comprises:
the top cap comprising:
a rubber gasket ring around a circumference of the top cap to act as a seal for the vinegar,
one or more spikes, and
a guide rail passing along a center of the top cap adapted to allow a flow of the vinegar;
a middle cap comprising a plurality of insertion holes to connect with the one or more spikes and the guide rail of the top cap, and
a powder pouch comprising a specific amount of baking soda, wherein the powder pouch is connected to the middle cap with a holder ring.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 3, wherein the plurality of insertion holes of the middle cap comprises a rail insertion slot at center to receive the guide rail of the top cap for the flow of the vinegar.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 3, wherein a foil divider is placed in between the middle cap and the powder pouch for separating the baking soda and the vinegar.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 5, wherein the foil divider is punctured by the one or more spikes of the top cap through the plurality of insertion holes of the middle cap, when pressure is applied on top of the top cap by the squeezing action of the depressible top cap to allow the flow of the vinegar into the powder pouch.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 3, wherein the top cap is connected to the middle cap through a spring, wherein the spring is configured to avoid accidental activation of the emergency protocol receptacle by maintaining the top cap separate from the foil divider.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The emergency protocol receptacle as claimed in claim 3, wherein the powder pouch is a woven square of cloth for holding the specific amount of baking soda.
