Abstract
A bleeding control device for mitigating bleeding includes a housing, inflation means, an inflatable balloon and a gas supply line. The bleeding control device may be used to deliver variable contents to a wound at the site of injury to control the bleeding of a victim as temporary solution for mitigating the bleeding until more advanced medical care can be provided. A bleeding control device includes a canister housing, a compressed gas canister arranged within the canister housing, a tube connected to the canister housing, an inflatable balloon disposed on the tube, the inflatable balloon being fluidly connected to the compressed gas canister, and a control element configured to activate the compressed gas canister to inflate the inflatable balloon.
Claims25
A bleeding control device comprising:
- a housing;
- an inflatable balloon arranged within and connected to the housing;
- inflation means arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- a gas supply line arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- and
- a pressure regulator and/or a pressure relief valve configured to maintain pressure in the inflatable balloon at a predetermined pressure;
- wherein the inflation means is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the gas supply line;
- and
- wherein the gas supply line comprises a plurality of holes, wherein the inflation means is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the plurality of holes.
A bleeding control device comprising:
- a housing;
- an inflatable balloon arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- inflation means arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- and
- a gas supply line arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- wherein the inflation means is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the gas supply line;
- and
- wherein the gas supply line comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the second part is movable within an inner volume of the first part.
A bleeding control device comprising:
- a housing;
- an inflatable balloon arranged within and connected to the housing;
- inflation means arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- a gas supply line arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- a pressure regulator configured to maintain pressure in the inflatable balloon at a predetermined pressure;
- and
- an air chamber;
- wherein the inflation means is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the gas supply line;
- wherein the inflation means comprises a hand pump configured to repeatedly add additional air volume to the inflatable balloon while the hand pump is connected to the housing;
- wherein the hand pump is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the air chamber and the pressure regulator, wherein the hand pump is configured to pressurize the air chamber when operated by a user, and wherein the air chamber and pressure regulator are configured to maintain the inflatable balloon at the predetermined pressure or at a selected pressure.
A bleeding control device comprising:
- a housing;
- an outer inflatable balloon arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- an inner inflatable balloon arranged within the outer inflatable balloon;
- a hand pump arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- a gas supply line arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- and
- a contact switch, wherein the contact switch is configured to cause, upon actuation, at least a portion of the gas supply line to extend away from the housing;
- wherein the hand pump is fluidly connected to the inner inflatable balloon through the gas supply line and configured to repeatedly add additional air volume to the inflatable balloon while the hand pump is within and/or connected to the housing;
- and
- wherein the outer inflatable balloon is not fluidly connected to any inflation means such that the outer inflatable balloon can only be inflated by virtue of the inner inflatable balloon being inflated.
A bleeding control device comprising:
- a housing;
- an outer inflatable balloon arranged within and connected to the housing;
- an inner inflatable balloon arranged within the outer inflatable balloon;
- a hand pump arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- and
- a gas supply line arranged within and/or connected to the housing;
- wherein the hand pump is fluidly connected to the inner inflatable balloon through the gas supply line and configured to repeatedly add additional air volume to the inflatable balloon while the hand pump is within and/or connected to the housing;
- wherein the inner inflatable balloon and the outer inflatable balloon have different inflation characteristics;
- and
- wherein the gas supply line comprises a plurality of holes, wherein the inflation means is fluidly connected to the inflatable balloon through the plurality of holes.
