Abstract

A device that holds a radial sheath, catheter or similar structure in place during surgical procedures. The device has a strap configured to fit around a patient's wrist and a two-part section that includes a sheath holder or clamp. The clamp is configured to accept a free end of the sheath or other device and to allow the physician access to the open end of that sheath so that they can insert instruments through it. The second section contains a compression device that, when positioned over the puncture site, can be expanded such that it provides pressure and patent hemostasis to the site to stop bleeding. Adhesive surfaces with peel away releasable liners on one or more surfaces of the device allow the flap featuring the compression balloon to be folded over onto the flap containing the sheath clamp and hold it in place.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method of using a surgical patch for supporting a secondary medical device including a sheath during a non-invasive surgical procedure using a radial artery and for providing patent hemostasis to the radial artery after the non-invasive surgical procedure, comprising:

providing a medical device comprising a transparent medical device including a first portion including a compression bladder in fluid communication with an inflation port or tube, a first adhesive material arranged on the first portion under a first peel away sheet;
and
a second portion movably coupled to the first portion with a living hinge, the second portion including a second adhesive material arranged under a second peel away sheet, and a cut out region configured to allow access to a puncture site of a patient, wherein the first portion is larger than the second portion;
removing the second peel away sheet, on the second portion, to expose the second adhesive material;
attaching the second portion with the second adhesive material to a wrist of the patient such that the cut out region is arranged partially around or in close proximity to the sheath located at least partially in the radial artery of the patient;
at least partially supporting the sheath with an anchor portion;
removing the sheath;
removing the first peel away sheet to expose the first adhesive material;
attaching the first portion to the second portion with the first adhesive material;
and
at least partially inflating the compression bladder to a predetermined pressure to provide a desired degree of hemostasis to the radial artery.

providing a medical device comprising a transparent thermoplastic medical device including a first portion including a compression bladder in fluid communication with an inflation port or tube, a first adhesive material arranged on the first portion under a first peel away sheet, and a compression pad arranged on the compression bladder, wherein the compression pad comprises a hemostatic agent;
and
a second portion movably coupled to the first portion with a living hinge comprising a stamped region, the second portion including a second adhesive material arranged under a second peel away sheet, a cut out region configured to allow access to a puncture site of a patient, and an anchor portion configured to support the sheath, wherein the first portion is larger than the second portion and wherein the second portion comprises a sterile gauze material configured to absorb blood;
removing the second peel away sheet, on the second portion, to expose the second adhesive material;
attaching the second portion with the second adhesive material to a wrist of the patient such that the cut out region is arranged partially around the sheath located at least partially in the radial artery of the patient;
at least partially supporting the sheath with the anchor portion during the non-invasive surgical procedure;
removing the sheath;
removing the first peel away sheet to expose the first adhesive material;
attaching the first portion to the second portion with the first adhesive material such that the compression pad is positioned directly over the puncture site;
and
inflating the compression bladder with a pump to a predetermined pressure to provide hemostasis to the radial artery within 15 minutes or less.
