ABSTRACT:
This application introduces an improved and modified version of previously applied means of prevention from bleeding by this applicant. The previous applications were as follows D. Device, Pressure bandages and dressings, Device 2, D. Device 3, and D. Device 4 which were all primarily designed for this purpose. Here again wraps are primarily made from a non-stretchable material although elastic materials are introduced in which these wraps will allow the application of pressure by an inflatable balloon, fluid-filled bag, or even a hard proper plate to certain wounds on the body to prevent bleeding and related complications. In this application it is stressed that the front part of these units on the wound will be made clear to allow visualization of the wound. A hard plastic is also introduced to be placed in front of the balloon or on the wound site. Many other modifications are introduced as well. The inventor believes that these units will be very useful in this regard. The unit with only minimal modification can also be very useful in patients with inguinal hernia, after hernia operations, or similar surgeries as well.
