Abstract: A hemostatic device is comprised of a covering member that includes a main body to which an inflatable member is connected, a first arm portion extending away from the main body, and a second arm portion extending away from the main body while forming an obtuse angle with a longitudinal direction of the first arm portion. The first arm portion includes an enlarged portion protruding in a width direction of the first arm portion at an end portion of the first arm portion. The second arm portion is longer than the first arm portion and is configured to be secured to the enlarged portion and to be secured to the second arm portion by passing between fingers of the patient in a state in which the second arm portion is wrapped around a limb of a patient.

Abstract: A hemostatic device includes a covering member having a main body connected to an inflatable member, a first arm portion extending from the main body, and a second arm portion extending from the main body in a direction different from a longitudinal direction of extent of the first arm portion. The first arm portion is configured to be secured to the second arm portion by virtue of a part of the first arm portion passing between fingers of a patient while the second arm portion is wrapped around a limb of the patient. The second arm portion has a belt portion for wrapping around the patient's limb and a support portion connecting the main body and the belt portion and located on a straight line connecting the first arm portion and the inflatable member. The belt portion is securable to the support portion while wrapped around the patient's limb.

Abstract: A modified natural rubber is disclosed, which is obtained by modifying a deproteinized natural rubber having a nitrogen content of less than 0.10% by weight. A process for improving the graft ratio and the graft efficiency of natural rubber and a process for improving the epoxidation ratio of natural rubber are also disclosed. The modified natural rubber of the present invention has a high modifying efficiency and thus shows an excellent modifying effect. It is also useful as a means for preventing allergy.
