ABSTRACT:
After intervention of the vessels in the groin, a routine procedure is to apply pressure by a sand bag to prevent bleeding.
The device of the present invention is a better solution for this problem. It consists of a wrap which covers the groin area to support a specifically shaped pressure balloon when it is inflated. The balloon is inside a cover and the pressure inside it can easily be changed and monitored. A mesh inside a plastic tube may help to watch for bleeding. By using this wrap, a patient no longer need be motionless, and may even be allowed to stand if needed.
