ABSTRACT:
A surgical pressure plaster has a pressure pad of readily compressible, resilient material, preferably having a trapezoidal cross-section with its non-parallel sides equal. The pressure pad is attached lengthwise and centrally to the adhesive surface of a highly elastic adhesive tape. Two removable protective strips and overlie the tacky surface of the elastic tape in end regions thereof and are of material stiff enough for them to have been inherently curved or angled into sections at right angles to sections adhering to the elastic tape. The protective strip may extend over the top surface of the pad which needs to be kept sterile through further anglings thereof. Using one hand only, digital pressure is exerted on the pressure pad's sides causing rotation of the projecting strips away from the pad whose surface is pressed onto a venepuncture wound site. The strips are removed, the tape ends, each stretched, are then applied to the skin, and the pad now maintains pressure on the wound and prevents bleeding.
