Abstract
A hemostatic device comprises an adhesive bandage and a hemostatic pad. The adhesive bandage includes an adhesive backing, an absorbent pad attached to a bottom surface of the adhesive backing, and a flexible disc attached to a top surface of the adhesive backing. The adhesive backing includes a central portion and two adhesive ends extending from the central portion. The hemostatic pad is attached to a bottom surface of the absorbent pad. A hemostatic effective amount of hemostatic agent is attached to a bottom surface of the hemostatic pad. The hemostatic pad defines an aperture at an approximately central point and an elongated cut extending from the aperture. The bandage defines an associate aperture and an elongated cut above the aperture and the elongated cut of the hemostatic pad. The apertures and the cuts allow the passage of an indwelling tubular element at the puncture wound.
