    Abstract: A femoral arterial and/or venous haemostasis device is disclosed. The device is a femoral haemostasis clamp (1), it allows direct pressure to be exerted onto the femoral artery and/or vein when removing femoral sheaths from post diagnostic or interventional surgery. The clamp includes a base plate (2) for providing a first clamping surface for the limb of a patient; a support post (4) extending upwardly from the base; an arm (5) extending between a first end mounted to the post and a second end distal from the post; and a pressure pad (13) having a notch at one end to accommodate either an arterial and/or venous sheath, the pressure pad (13) being displaceable relative to the second end and to the base for moving the surfaces into and out of clamping engagement with the limb. Preferably at the second end of the arm a rod (29) is slidably and rotatably mounted by means of a ratchet mechanism, the pad being fixedly attached to an end of the rod.
