ABSTRACT:
Bleeding from a wound created as a consequence of catheterization of a vessel proximate the groin is prevented by a balloon that is secured by means of a wrap around the abdomen and thigh, and inflated. Several embodiments are disclosed. In one, the balloon has an edge proximate to and parallel with the groin line; in another, there are two such balloons on opposite sides of the groin line; in a third, a third balloon wedges the first two. The balloons may be attached to the insides of shorts. Electrodes placed over the area can detect bleeding.
