Abstract
A manual compression aid for applying direct pressure to arterial and venous punctures to obtain hemostasis includes an integrally formed pressure applicator having a relatively flat first surface adapted for contact with a human body and having a user manipulable member for holding the pressure applicator and for applying force thereto. In one embodiment, the user manipulable member is a peg extending upwardly from the first surface. The peg not only is manipulatable by a user to manually apply pressure to a puncture site, but also functions to receive a separate cylindrical weight. The weight is pivotally mounted on the peg so that it can swivel. A stretchable bandage is used to secure and stabilize the weight in place. The bandage, being held above the puncture by the pressure applicator and the weight, also acts to supply pressure to the puncture site.
