Abstract
Abstract A haemostatic pressure pad is described which includes a plinth-like body having a first finger portion and a second finger portion. The first finger portion has a first end and a second end. The second finger portion has a first end and a second end. The first finger portion and the second finger portion are conjoined at the respective second ends. The first finger portion is larger than the second finger portion. The plinth-like body has a contact face and an attachment face. A boss is positioned on the attachment face of the first finger portion for attaching the plinth-like body to an haemostatic compression device. A channel is positioned between the first finger and the second finger. The channel extends inwardly from the respective first ends of the first finger and the second finger, terminating at the conjoined respective second ends. The channel passes through the plinth-like body from the contact face to the attachment face.
