ABSTRACT:
A nasal hemostat adapted for insertion into a nasal cavity by individuals not trained in medical or nursing arts is composed of contracted material adapted to expand into a porous tampon upon contact with a fluid. The contracted tampon is in the form of an elongated rectangle. Upon expansion, the tampon assumes the shape of a small, right-angled triangle adjacent to a truncated isosceles triangle, connected by a common top, having a linear top wall and two parallel side walls. Upon expansion, the tampon will apply hemostatic pressure to substantially all parts of the most important area of the nasal cavity in regards to hemorrhage. Furthermore, the shape of the tampon is such that there should be essentially no waste from the raw material used in the manufacture of said tampon, thereby greatly decreasing manufacturing costs and allowing the tampon to be more readily available to the nonmedical public.
