Abstract
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.

A hemostasis pressure pad band according to claim 4 wherein said ridge formation terminates in a semi-conic contour adjacent said notch formation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A hemostasis pressure pad band according to claim 1 wherein said pad is slidably mounted along a length portion of said strap.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A hemostasis pressure pad band according to claim 1 wherein said tightening mechanism is a self-locking mechanism.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
A hemostasis pressure pad band according to claim 1 wherein the dimension of said channel as defined by said cheeks and said base is with reference to the dimension of said vessel whereby said cheeks and said base perform a depth gauge function to limit pressure applied to the vessel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A hemostasis pressure pad band according to claim 1 wherein said open ended channel is a concave-convex formation.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
71 words
A hemostasis pressure pad for application to a vessel access needle site of a patient in aid of hemostasis, the skin contacting portion of the pad comprising: a first cheek; and a second cheek, the first and second cheeks defining therebetween an open ended channel including a base whereby the vessel may be positioned along the channel with the first and second cheeks and the base bearing against the needle site.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
A hemostasis pressure pad for application to a vessel access needle site of a patient in aid of hemostasis, the skin contacting portion of the pad comprising: a first cheek; and a second cheek, the first and second cheeks defining therebetween an open ended channel including a base whereby the vessel may be positioned along the channel with the first and second cheeks and the base bearing against the needle site.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
33 words
A hemostasis pressure pad according to claim 10, further comprising: a band carrying said pad whereby said band may encircle an appendage of the patient and bring said pad against said needle site.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
37 words
A hemostasis pad according to claim 11 further comprising a selectively adjustable tightening arrangement for the band whereby selective tightening of the band about the appendage achieves selective magnitude pressure of said pad against said needle site.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
77 words
A hemostasis pad according to claim 12 wherein said tightening arrangement includes a first serrated surface of the band and a locking tab including a second serrated surface bearing against said first serrated surface in self-locking engagement of the band, the band being selectively adjustable by movement of tightening movement of the first serrated surface relative to the second serrated surface and by loosening movement of the first serrated surface following disengagement of the second serrated surface.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
33 words
A hemostasis pad according to claim 10 wherein said pad further includes a ridge formation along the base of said channel and bearing against said needle site in placement of said pad thereagainst.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
57 words
A hemostasis pad according to claim 14 wherein ridge formation terminates in a semi-conic formation at a leading end of said channel and said cheeks further define at the leading edge of said pad a notch for accommodating an inclined orientation of said needle relative to said needle site while placing said pad against said needle site.
