ABSTRACT:
An adjustable compress apparatus for applying adjustable pressure to a patient in the area of a puncture site on a patient includes an adjustable stand, a pressure adjustment mechanism and a pressure pad. The adjustable stand has a support frame and a patient size adjustment mechanism movably mounted thereon for adjusting the size and the orientation of the stand to accommodate patients of various sizes. The pressure adjustment mechanism is mounted to the outer end of the patient size adjustment mechanism and, in turn, supports the pressure pad in pressure contact with the patient. By adjustment of the latter mechanism, the pressure applied to the puncture site by the pressure pad can be gradually and finely adjusted. The pressure pad is attached to the pressure adjustment mechanism by a ball-and-socket connection which permits a range of movement of the pad relative to the patient for self-adjustment of the pad into conformity with the contour of the patient's body.
