1. A bleeding control device comprising:
- a first frame member having a first end region and a second end region;
an adapter coupled to the first end region of the first frame member;
a second frame member being moveable with respect to the adapter, the second frame member being substantially perpendicular to the first frame member;
a support member coupled to the second end region of the first frame member, the support member being substantially parallel to the second frame member;
a shaft member attached to the second frame member, the shaft member being generally vertically adjustable on the second frame member and the shaft member being substantially perpendicular to the second frame member;
a pad disposed between the second frame member and the support member, the pad being connected to an end region of the shaft member;
wherein the distance from the pad to the support member is configured to be adjusted by manipulating the shaft member.

Abstract
A compression or tourniquet device can include a frame which has a first arm and a support arm and a pad mounted on the first arm. The position of the first arm can be laterally and vertically adjustable on the frame relative to the brace arm. The device can be secured to a patient and the pad can be adjusted to provide pressure on an injury to stop the bleeding.

23. A method of stopping bleeding from an injury of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
positioning a bleeding control device near the injury so that a support arm of the device is under the patient'"'"'s body beneath the injury; adjusting a first arm of the device so that a pad coupled to the first arm is positioned over the injury; manipulating a shaft member to move the pad closer to the support arm, providing pressure on the injury until the bleeding stops.
