Abstract
An adhesive pad for use with a hemostasis device comprising a footplate having a top surface and a receiving device positioned on the footplate, the adhesive pad comprising: (1) a flexible backing layer having a bottom surface, a central portion having an opening, a first side portion, and a second side portion; (2) an adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the backing layer; and (3) a release layer removably secured to the adhesive layer. The opening in the central portion of the backing layer is sized to fit the receiving device of the hemostasis device, and the adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the first and second side portions of the backing layer is configured to adhere to and extend beyond the top surface of the footplate.
Claims17
An adhesive pad for use with a hemostasis device comprising a footplate having a top surface, and a receiving device positioned on the footplate, the adhesive pad comprising:
- a flexible backing layer having a bottom surface, a central portion having an opening, a first side portion, and a second side portion;
- an adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the backing layer;
- and
- a release layer removably secured to the adhesive layer;
- wherein the opening in the central portion of the backing layer is sized to fit the receiving device of the hemostasis device, and wherein the adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the first and second side portions of the backing layer is configured to adhere to and extend beyond the top surface of the footplate.
A hemostasis system for adhering to a patient's skin and applying a compressive force to a puncture site, the system comprising:
- a hemostasis device comprising a footplate having a bottom surface and a receiving device positioned on the footplate;
- and
- an adhesive pad comprising
- a flexible backing layer with a bottom surface, a central portion having an opening, a first side portion, and a second side portion;
- an adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the backing layer;
- and
- a release liner removably secured to the adhesive layer;
- wherein the central portion of the backing layer of the adhesive pad is sized to fit the receiving device of the hemostasis device, and wherein the first and second side portions of the backing layer are configured to adhere to and extend beyond the top surface of the footplate of the hemostasis device.
A method for applying a compressive force to a patient's skin at the site of a puncture site, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a hemostasis device on the patient's skin at the site of a puncture site, wherein the hemostasis device comprises a footplate having a top surface, a receiving device positioned on the footplate, a plunger positioned within the receiving device and configured to move therethrough, and a plurality of motion restricting components interposed between the receiving device and the plunger;
- adhesively anchoring an adhesive pad to the hemostasis device and to the patient's skin proximal to the puncture site, wherein the adhesive pad comprises a flexible backing layer having a bottom surface, a central portion having an opening sized to fit the receiving device of the hemostasis device, a first side portion, a second side portion, and an adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the backing layer, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion of the backing layer overlie and adhere to the top surface of the footplate of the hemostasis device and to the patient's skin proximal to the puncture site;
- advancing the plunger through the receiving device until the plunger applies a compressive force to the puncture site;
- and
- engaging the plurality of motion restricting components to restrict reverse movement of the plunger through the receiving device.
