Abstract
A hemostasis pressure pad band is shown and described including a controllably adjustable band for tightening about a patient's limb and a needle site contacting pad which bears against a needle site at the time of needle removal to prevent bleeding therefrom. The pad includes a pair of cheek formations which define a channel along and in which a graft is positioned prior to needle removal. The channel formation may further include a ridge formation of its base and along its length which further defines side channels for better permitting circulation while engaging the needle site. The pad also includes a notch formation at one end of the channel for accommodating the inclined needle at the needle site prior to its removal.
