  • Patent number: 5486194
    Abstract: This invention relates to a compressive hemostatic belt wherein a cup-shaped rigid case is attached by an attaching device to a predetermined position on a band made of non-stretchable or low-stretchable fiber, nonwoven fabric or film, and a balloon adapted to be inflated by being filled with fluid is received in the rigid case. Preferably, at least the portion of the band which corresponds to the leg when the band is wrapped around the body is shaped in curve form. Buckles may be attached to the opposite ends of the band and a buckle attaching plate may be attached to the rigid case. One end of the band may be provided with projections so that when the band is wrapped around the body, the other end of the band is thrusted on the projections to fix the band in position. If the band is made of adhesive material, more reliable fixing can be achieved. A check valve adapted to prevent fluid from flowing back from the balloon may be removably connected to the balloon to provide for reuse of the check valve.

  • Patent number: 5464420
    Abstract: The invention presents a compressive hemostatic belt which is easy to handle and is disposable. A balloon 5 inflatable by filling with fluid is mounted on a specific position of a strip 1 made of non-elastic or low-elastic fiber cloth or the like through mounting means, and a pump 8 and a pressure gauge 9 are connected to the balloon 5 through a check valve 6. The balloon 5 is filled with a fluid by manipulating the pump 8 while observing the pressure gauge 9 to inflate the balloon 5, so that only the area where bleeding is to be stopped is put under pressure. Since the balloon 5 is inflated only on the specified area, a piece of hard material 4 may be placed between the balloon 5 and the strip 1. A non-elastic reinforcing member 11 inserted on the opposite side of the balloon 5 can be varied, or the confronting portion of the strip 1 against the balloon 5 can be formed of a non-elastic reinforcing member stronger than the materials of other portions of the strip.

  • Patent number: 5433724
    Abstract: A compressive hemostatic belt which is easily operable and thrown away after use, incorporates a strip (1) in the form of a nonstretch or low-stretch textile fabric, and a bag (5) expansible by being filled with fluid that is attached to the strip at a predetermined position by an attaching device. A pump (8) and a pressure gauge (9) are connected to the bag (5) attached at the predetermined position on the strip (1), so that the bag is expanded by operating the pump so as to fill the bag (5) with a suitable fluid while watching the pressure gauge (9). The bag thus presses down on an area (A) where bleeding is to be stopped.

  • Patent number: 4595162
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device including a pair of recessed semicylindrical resilient gripping bodies each embedded with a resilient member of harder material than the gripping bodies. The cross section of each resilient member is shaped like a semicircle having flanges at its both side edges, respectively. The diameter of the semicircle is the greatest at the midpoint of a center axis of the reinforcing member and becomes smaller toward the ends thereof. A tubular member is securely clamped inside the recesses and between these bone members by connecting means.
