A femoral compression device (21) for compressive bearing 27b against the femoral artery of a patient, comprising a base plate (22) an inflatable air cushion (24) attached to the base plate a first extension (23a) extending from a first side of the base plate a second extension (23b) extending from a second side of the base plate, said second side being opposite to the first side a belt (25) adapted to be attached to an end of the first extension and being adapted to extend around the patients body to be attacked to an end of the second extension a pump (26) for inflation of the inflatable air cushion an air connection (27a, 27b, 27′) with a first end and a second end and connecting the pump at a first end and the air cushion at the second end, and a manometer (28) arranged for measurement of the current pressure difference between pressure prevailing inside the air connection and ambient air pressure. The manometer is arranged at the air connection separately from the pump and located such that a shut-off device (31) designed to close off the air connection may be arranged between said manometer and said pump.
