摘要：
A vascular compression apparatus and method for applying pressure onto an areaof a patient generally including a blood vessel and a wound site, such as a bloodvessel puncture, after a cannulated procedure for the purpose of controllingbleeding and achieving hemostasis. The vascular compression apparatus includesa handle, a shaft and a pad. The shaft extends generally downward from the centerof the bottom side of the handle. The pad is connected generally off-center ofits top side to the bottom end of the shaft. The bottom side of the pad is convex toallow the vascular compression device to be rocked back and forth. In use, thepad is generally placed proximal to the catheter insertion site and over the bloodvessel containing the catheter. The device is rocked proximally to control bloodflow while removing the catheter. After the catheter is removed from the puncturesite, the device is rocked distally to the puncture site , where pressure is applieduntil hemostasis is achieved.
