Abstract: A method for anatomical reduction of the bones of the pelvis includes a belt having a clasp or other fastening member. The device also includes at least two inflatable bladders slidingly positionable along the belt. Operationally, the device is positioned to encircle the hips of a patient with a bladder positioned over each of the patient's hip bones. The clasp is fastened to hold the belt in place and a pump is used to selectively inflate each of the bladders. Inflation of the bladders applies a compressive force in excess of five hundred pounds to the pelvic bones of the patient reducing the intra-pelvic volume, thereby minimizing blood loss attributable to fractures or diastasis of the pelvis.
