Abstract:
1. A radial artery compression device comprising: a body; a rotatable member rotatably coupled to the body; a compression pad operably coupled to the rotatable member such that rotation of the rotatable member results in axial movement of the compression pad relative to the rotatable member; one or more ratchet engagement members operably coupled to the rotatable member; wherein the ratchet engagement members are configured to permit rotation of the rotatable member in a first direction without manipulation of the ratchet engagement members by a user, and wherein the ratchet engagement members are configured to prevent rotation of the rotatable member in a second direction; the ratchet engagement members are positioned on opposing sides of the body; wherein the ratchet engagement members extend from the body positioned adjacent to an underside of the rotatable member and extend in an upward direction positioned adjacent to a sidewall of the rotatable member; and further comprising a ratchet mechanism coupled with the rotatable member, wherein engagement of the ratchet mechanism with the ratchet engagement members prevents rotation of the rotatable member in the second direction and wherein disengagement of the ratchet mechanism from the ratchet engagement members permits rotation of the rotatable member in the second direction.
