A pad of elastomeric material having a softness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00. The pad may carry adhesive and/or a housing for adhering the pad to a surface, either directly or indirectly through an envelope which surrounds the pad and carries the adhesive. Such a pad exhibits hemostatic and leak prevention properties against needle puncture holes in the skin or the wall of a hollow medical device. Particularly, hemostasis may be prevented with low pressure application of the pad to the skin. The pad may be previously applied to the skin of the patient or a wall of a medical device such as tubing or a solution bag, and the needle may then penetrate both the pad and the skin or medical device wall, to make a resealable puncture with leakage reduction and hemostasis when the needle is withdrawn.
A method which comprises:
A substantially transparent, soft, pad of elastomeric material having a hardness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00, said pad carrying a strap member for pressing the pad against a site of the skin of a patient, whereby bleeding through the site of the skin of a patient may be suppressed.

A soft, nonporous-surfaced pad for hemostasis, said pad having a hardness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00, said pad being carried in a recess defined by a recess wall in a plastic sheet, said sheet also having a flat flange at least partially surrounding said recess wall, adapted to be affixed to the skin of a patient, with the recess wall and the patient's skin together enclosing the soft pad.
A soft, hemostasis pad of elastomeric material having a hardness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00, said pad being of solid, dome shape with a flat bottom.
A soft, flexible, substantially transparent pad, adapted to be pressed against the skin of a patient, said pad having a non-porous surface abutting the skin of the patient, and having a hardness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00;
