Patent ID: 11730487

Abstract:
A vascular hemostasis system includes a first compression member and a second compression member separated from the first compression member to create a body part receiving space that is adapted to receive a body part having a vascular opening in need of hemostasis. A compression mechanism connects the first compression member to the second compression member, and the compression mechanism is configured to selectively move the first compression member towards or away from the second compression member to adjust the size of the space and thereby provide varying amounts of compression to the body part. An optional control system includes a detecting system, such as a pulse sensor, and a controller. The controller may be adapted to control the compression mechanism in response to the detecting system. In one version, the compression mechanism includes a locking mechanism that can selectively prevent the first compression member from moving away from the second compression member. The vascular hemostasis system may be used in process to provide hemostasis.
