ABSTRACT:
An improved femoral aterial or venous compressive device is comprised of a flexible pelvic apron positioned over the femoral vessels within the human pelvis. The pelvic apron is placed in position by means of a hip strap. The hip straps are led from the pelvic apron upwardly over the hip points, around the small of the back and down over the opposing hip point back to the pelvic apron. The pelvic apron thus hangs from the hip points of the pelvis much like an apron. A shaped mass or pellet is attached to the under side of the pelvic apron over the incision site of the femoral vessel. An elastically extensible groin strap is then attached to the pelvic apron in the proximity of the shaped mass and drawn tightly through the groin, around the back of the leg, under the buttocks and back upwardly to the pelvic apron in the proximity of the shaped mass. As a result, the tensile force is applied by the groin strap across the pelvic apron up to the hip point and also around the leg. The shaped mass is forced by the tourniquet action of the groin strap and pelvic apron in combination downwardly into the pelvis, thereby compressing the underlying femoral vessel and thus assising in stanching any blood flow or fluid leakage.
