摘要：
An arterial tamponade device has an elongate connecting member of resiliently deformable material with pressure pads at each end of the member, and is expandable between a generally U-shaped or V-shaped collapsed condition and a fully expanded position. The device is inserted into a body cavity in its collapsed state and is released at a predetermined location so that opposite ends of the device are biased away from one another and the pressure pads engage and apply pressure to opposite wall areas of the body cavity before the device is fully expanded. One pressure pad has a bulbous end portion angled away from the connecting member and designed to engage and apply pressure to a predetermined tissue area which includes one or more blood vessels so as to occlude or partially occlude the vessel or vessels and reduce or cut off blood flow to the body cavity.
