ABSTRACT:
A femoral compression device for preventing post-catheterization wound bleeding includes a rigid restraining member strapped in fixed position to a patient to prevent hip flexion. A compression strap connected to the restraining member urges a discrete compression element toward the wound site. The compression strap cooperates with the discrete compression element to form a general ball and socket joint therebetween, whereby slight movement of the compression strap relative to the compression element will not cause a corresponding movement of the compression element.
