ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a semiautomatic compress which performs the function previously performed by a nurse exerting 30 pounds of pressure with her hand on a patient after insertion of a tube into a patient's artery, followed by compression by a sand bag for about ten hours. The compress comprises belts coupling it to the patient, and a calibrated ratchet controlled clamp which exerts a selected force on the wound of the patient for about ten hours while the blood of the patient clots at and near the wound.
