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 1):
A method directed at obtaining hemostasis at a puncture site of a radial artery on a wrist of a patient comprising:\n a) 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 member of the hemostatic device more rigid than the flexible band possessing an inner peripheral surface facing the wrist, at least a first balloon of the hemostatic device is positioned between the wrist and the member, wherein applying the hemostatic device to the wrist of the patient occurs while the first balloon is in an uninflated state; b) positioning the first balloon relative to the puncture site such that the first balloon overlies the puncture site; c) inflating the first balloon while the first balloon overlies the puncture site of the radial artery so that the first balloon, while inflated, applies a radial compressive force directly against the puncture site, the radial compressive force in totality being in an oblique direction with respect to the surface of the wrist and pointing away from a center portion of the wrist; and d) maintaining inflation of the balloon and the compressive force against the puncture site for a duration of time at least until hemostasis of the radial artery.
