Abstract
A hemostatic device is disclosed, which includes a tube fixing portion that is provided to a fixing member which fixes an inflatable member. The tube fixing portion includes a first member, a second member that is located closer to the inflatable member than is the first member, a slit portion, and a tube holding portion. A part of the first member is further away from the inflatable member than is the second member in a direction perpendicular to a virtual plane defined by the slit portion. A first distal-end surface includes a first region not facing a second distal-end surface, and a second region facing the second distal-end surface. A first curved portion has a first curved surface curved toward the second member and facing the second distal-end surface.
Claims20
A hemostatic device comprising:
- an inflatable member configured to compress a site where bleeding is to be stopped in a limb of a patient;
- a fixing member configured to fix the inflatable member to the limb of the patient;
- an injection member including a connector portion configured to inject a fluid for inflating the inflatable member, and a tube portion configured to connect the connector portion to an inner cavity of the inflatable member;
- a tube fixing portion located on the fixing member and configured to secure the tube portion, the tube fixing portion includes a first member, a second member located closer to the inflatable member than is the first member and facing the first member, a slit portion formed between the first member and the second member and configured to allow insertion of the tube portion, and a tube holding portion surrounded by the first member, the second member, and the slit portion and configured to hold the tube portion;
- the first member includes a first portion, a first curved portion curved toward the second member, and a first distal-end surface located at a distal end of the first curved portion;
- the second member includes a second portion, a second curved portion curved toward the first member, and a second distal-end surface located at a distal end of the second curved portion and facing the first distal-end surface across the slit portion;
- a part of the first member is further away from the inflatable member than the second member in a direction perpendicular to a virtual plane defined by the slit portion;
- the first distal-end surface includes a first region not facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion and a second region facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion;
- the first curved portion has a first curved surface curved toward the second member;
- and
- the first curved surface faces the second distal-end surface across the tube holding portion.
A tube fixing portion that is provided on a fixing member configured to fix an inflatable member of a hemostatic device to a patient, the tube fixing portion comprising:
- a first member, a second member located closer to the inflatable member than the first member and facing the first member;
- a slit portion formed between the first member and the second member and configured to allow insertion of a tube portion configured to be connected to an inner cavity of the inflatable member;
- a tube holding portion surrounded by the first member, the second member, and the slit portion and configured to hold the tube portion;
- the first member includes a first portion, a first curved portion curved toward the second member, and a first distal-end surface located at a distal end of the first curved portion;
- the second member includes a second portion, a second curved portion curved toward the first member, and a second distal-end surface located at a distal end of the second curved portion and facing the first distal-end surface across the slit portion;
- and
- wherein the first distal-end surface includes a first region not facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion and a second region facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion.
A tube fixing portion, that is provided on a fixing member configured to fix an inflatable member of a hemostatic device to a patient, the tube fixing portion comprising:
- a first member, a second member located closer to the inflatable member than the first member and facing the first member;
- a slit portion formed between the first member and the second member and configured to allow insertion of a tube portion configured to be connected to an inner cavity of the inflatable member;
- a tube holding portion surrounded by the first member, the second member, and the slit portion and configured to hold the tube portion;
- the first member includes a first portion, a first curved portion curved toward the second member, and a first distal-end surface located at a distal end of the first curved portion;
- the second member includes a second portion, a second curved portion curved toward the first member, and a second distal-end surface located at a distal end of the second curved portion and facing the first distal-end surface across the slit portion;
- the fixing member includes a support member to which the inflatable member is fixed, and a band connectable to the support member;
- the support member is made of a material more rigid than a material forming the band, the band being configured to be connected to the support member;
- wherein the band includes a first band extending from the support member in a first direction, a second band extending from the support member in a second direction different from the first direction, and a third band configured to be disposed between fingers of the patient and extending from the support member in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction;
- a connection portion between the inflatable member and the tube portion is located on a third band side;
- and
- the tube fixing portion is located on a surface of the support member facing the third band with the inflatable member interposed therebetween.
A method for attaching a hemostatic device to a site where bleeding is to be stopped in a limb of a patient, the method comprising:
- positioning an inflatable member fixed on a support member of the hemostatic device over the site to where the bleeding is to be stopped in the limb of the patient;
- securing the inflatable member of the hemostatic device to the limb of the patient with a plurality of bands connected to the support member;
- and
- fixing a tube portion of an injection member to the support member using a tube fixing portion located on the support member and configured to fix the tube portion, the tube fixing portion including a first member, a second member located closer to the inflatable member than is the first member and facing the first member, a slit portion formed between the first member and the second member and configured to allow insertion of the tube portion, and a tube holding portion surrounded by the first member, the second member, and the slit portion and configured to hold the tube portion, the first member includes a first portion, a first curved portion curved toward the second member, and a first distal-end surface located at a distal end of the first curved portion, the second member includes a second portion, a second curved portion curved toward the first member, and a second distal-end surface located at a distal end of the second curved portion and facing the first distal-end surface across the slit portion, a part of the first member is further away from the inflatable member than is the second member in a direction perpendicular to a virtual plane defined by the slit portion, the first distal-end surface includes a first region not facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion and a second region facing the second distal-end surface across the slit portion.
