ABSTRACT:
An article to be used as an aid in the treatment of epistaxis consisting of a fluid absorbing portion which is pear shaped in cross-section for insertion into a part of the nasal cavity with a semi-rigid handle portion having along one end section a multi-spoked support structure about which the fluid absorbing portion is mounted and maintained in the pear shaped cross section. When inserted into the nasal cavity the pear shaped cross section of the fluid absorbing portion, as maintained by the support structure, provides both essentially uniform pressure for constricting blood flow and localities for aggregation of fibrin to promote blood clotting.
