ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a compressive hemostatic belt wherein a cup-shaped rigid case is attached by an attaching device to a predetermined position on a band made of non-stretchable or low-stretchable fiber, nonwoven fabric or film, and a balloon adapted to be inflated by being filled with fluid is received in the rigid case. Preferably, at least the portion of the band which corresponds to the leg when the band is wrapped around the body is shaped in curve form. Buckles may be attached to the opposite ends of the band and a buckle attaching plate may be attached to the rigid case. One end of the band may be provided with projections so that when the band is wrapped around the body, the other end of the band is thrusted on the projections to fix the band in position. If the band is made of adhesive material, more reliable fixing can be achieved. A check valve adapted to prevent fluid from flowing back from the balloon may be removably connected to the balloon to provide for reuse of the check valve.
