ABSTRACT:
This invention introduces a system which allows a low level of pressure to be applied to the wound site in order to prevent bleeding during a stable period. Some models of this unit also give the option of allowing the unit to be inflated in order to increase the pressure in the area and stop bleeding if it occurs later. Automatic ways of recognizing bleeding are also introduced that utilize a computerized means of recognition and/or application of a set of proper reactions after bleeding, and an automated pressure application as well. It is believed that this unit will help human beings significantly.
