An occlusion catheter system for full or partial occlusion of a vessel includes an occlusion balloon. The balloon is positioned in a folded, uninflated configuration around a central shaft, a proximal shaft, and a distal shaft of the occlusion catheter system, having an outer diameter less than seven French. The balloon is constructed of a semi-compliant or non-compliant material and is sized to have a blown diameter between approximately ten percent to sixty percent greater than the inner diameter of the vessel, whereby an outer surface of the balloon comes into full diametric contact with an inner surface of the vessel upon partial inflation of the balloon and folds are formed in the outer surface of the balloon. The folds define flow channels with inner surfaces of the vessel or with portions of the outer surface of the balloon that allow partial blood flow past the balloon.

A body model system for temporary hemorrhage control training and simulation includes a frame simulating at least a torso of the body having a hollow portion, a simulated artery positioned in the hollow portion, a thigh patch mounted to the frame proximate the hollow portion, a pump connected in fluid communication with the simulated artery and a reservoir connected in fluid communication with the simulated artery and the pump. The frame is substantially rigid. The thigh patch is constructed of a resilient material that is pierceable by a needle. The simulated artery extends through the thigh patch. The pump is configured to produce a pulsatile flow in the simulated artery.
