A hemostatic device, comprising:
- a catheter having an elongated shaft of elastic material, an inflatable balloon adjacent a distal end of the shaft, and a sidearm adjacent a proximal end of the catheter extending outwardly from the shaft;
- a traction member comprising, a retaining portion having a bore in which the catheter shaft is removably positioned, a side channel in which the catheter side arm is removably positioned communicating with said bore and extending at an angle from the bore toward a proximal end of the retaining portion, said retaining portion having a slot extending between the channel and bore to permit passage of the catheter sidearm into the side channel during placement of the catheter in the traction member with the juncture of the catheter shaft and sidearm being located adjacent the juncture of the retaining portion bore and side channel, said traction member having means for connecting the retaining portion to an object to maintain the catheter shaft under selected tension.
