ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to external, non-invasive compression devices to treat anterior nosebleeds and a method for using those external compression devices to treat anterior nosebleeds without the insertion of any material or device into the nasal cavity. This patent concerns a method for automatically applying external pressure to the nose to stop nosebleeds, describes how a new use can be made of an existing device to implement the method, and also describes a preferable anatomically conforming device which better fits the shape of the nose and thus can be more comfortable and effective.
