Abstract
Methods, materials, articles, assemblies, systems, devices, kits and computer hardware/software for improving medical procedures, including, but not limited to, hemodialysis. Particular beneficial designs and uses of disinfecting patches, scab removal patches, hemostatic patches, healing patches and artificial scabs are included. For example, scab removal patches that avoid tenting, hemostatic patches with needle stabilizing elements, hemostatic patches applying pressure at a skin puncture site and a vessel puncture site, artificial scabs that release antimicrobial agents, etc.

- a support layer;
- a patient adhesive included on at least a portion of the support layer;
- a sponge included on at least a portion of the support layer;
- and

A hemostatic patch comprising:
- an above-needle portion including
- a support layer;
- a patient adhesive included on at least a portion of the support layer;
- a sponge included on at least a portion of the support layer;
- and
- a vessel-focused hemostatic material included on the support layer, away from the sponge;
- and
- a below-needle portion including
- a second support layer;
- a second patient adhesive included on at least a portion of the second support layer;

A hemostatic patch comprising:
- a support layer;
- a patient adhesive included on at least a portion of the support layer;
- and
- a sponge included on at least a portion of the support layer and configured to expand upon absorption of a fluid;
- wherein the support layer is configured to be substantially inelastic so that a hemostatic force will be exerted upon the sponge's absorption of a fluid.
