Abstract:
1. A styptic device for substantially hemostatically sealing a percutaneous puncture in a blood vessel of a patient, said styptic device comprising: a bracelet defining a bracelet first end and a substantially opposed bracelet second end; and a compression element mechanically coupled to said bracelet and provided between said bracelet first and second ends, said compression element defining a compression surface compressible against said patient for substantially hemostatically sealing said percutaneous puncture; said bracelet including an attachment, said attachment including an attachment first element and an attachment second element provided respectively substantially adjacent said bracelet first and second ends; said bracelet being configurable between an open configuration in which said attachment first and second elements are disjoint from each other and a closed configuration in which said attachment first and second elements are mechanically coupled to each other and said bracelet forms a loop with said compression surface facing inwardly; wherein, with said bracelet in said closed configuration, said attachment is configurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, wherein, in said locked configuration, said attachment first and second elements are fixed with respect to each other, and in said unlocked configuration, said attachment first and second elements are movable with respect to each other such that tightening and loosening of said loop are allowed; said bracelet further comprising a safety catch configurable between a disengaged configuration and an engaged configuration, wherein, with said bracelet in said closed configuration, in said disengaged configuration, said attachment is movable between said locked and unlocked configurations, and, in said engaged configuration, with said attachment in said locked configuration, said attachment is prevented from moving to said unlocked configuration.
