International Classification:

A61B 17/00
A61B 17/135

Abstract:

A hemostasis device configured to apply a compressive force to a puncture site of a patient's vessel, such as an artery of the foot, is disclosed. The hemostasis device may include a compression member having a plurality of tabs and an inflatable bladder. A plurality of bands may be used to position and maintain the compression member over the puncture site until hemostasis is achieved are releasably coupled to the plurality of tabs. A first band can wrap around the ankle, a second band can wrap around the foot, and a third band can extend between two toes or around a toe. The hemostasis device may also comprise an inflation port in fluid communication with the inflatable bladder.

International Classification:

A61B 17/135

Abstract:

Vascular compression devices with an inflatable chamber are disclosed. The inflatable chamber of the vascular compression devices can be inflated and then deflated with a liquid with ultrasound properties similar to biological tissues. Ultrasound waves may be applied to the vascular compression device and may propagate through the vascular compression device and into the biological tissue of the patient to produce an ultrasound image to determine the patency of the vessel.
