Abstract:
A hemostatic device is provided to stop bleeding at a puncture site on the wrist of a patient, the device comprising a transparent flexible band to be wrapped at the site where the bleeding is to be stopped, a curved frame having an inner peripheral side and possessing a first curved portion in its first half and a second curved portion in its second half, a first balloon provided on the inner peripheral side in the first half of the curved frame and a second balloon provided on the inner peripheral side in the second half of the curved frame. The bleeding from a first artery is stopped by compressing the first artery at the puncture site using inflation of the first balloon and the blood flow in the first artery is increased by compression of a second artery using inflation of the second balloon.

Claim (Index 11):
A method directed at obtaining hemostasis at a puncture site of a radial artery on a wrist of a patient comprising:\n i. applying a hemostatic device to the wrist of the patient so that a flexible band of the hemostatic device is wrapped around at least a portion of the wrist, a curved portion and a flat portion being provided on the flexible band so that when the hemostatic device is applied to the wrist of the patient a curved inner side of the curved portion and a flat inner side of the flat portion face the wrist of the patient; ii. placing the flat inner side of the flat portion in congruence with a substantially flat outer side of the wrist and placing the curved inner side of the curved portion in congruence with the substantially curved outer side of the wrist, and positioning at least a first balloon of the hemostatic device to overlie the puncture site; iii. inflating the first balloon while the first balloon overlies the puncture site so that the first balloon, while inflated, applies a radial compressive force directly to the site on the surface of the patient's wrist, the radial compressive force in totality being in an oblique direction with respect to the surface of the wrist and originating from the flat inner side of the flat portion; and iv. maintaining inflation of the first balloon and the radial compressive force against the puncture site to obtain hemostasis of the radial artery.
