SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACHIEVING PATENT HEMOSTASIS IN ARTERIES
First Claim
1. A hemostatic device comprising:
- a flexible band for enclosure about a wrist at a puncture site, the flexible band including an inner surface;
a first balloon coupled to the inner surface of the flexible band; and
a second balloon coupled to the inner surface of the flexible band and positioned relative to the first balloon such that a distance between the first balloon and second balloon results in the first balloon being positioned proximal a first artery and the second balloon being positioned proximal a second artery when the flexible band is enclosed about the wrist;
wherein, upon inflation of the first balloon and the second balloon, patent hemostasis is achieved on the first artery and occlusive pressure is generated on the second artery.

Abstract
A system for achieving patent hemostasis in arteries of a patient'"'"'s wrist is disclosed. The system includes a flexible band for enclosure about the wrist at a puncture site. A first and second balloon are coupled to an inner surface of the flexible band. The second balloon is positioned relative to the first balloon such that a distance between the first balloon and the second balloon results in the first balloon being positioned proximal a first artery and the second balloon being positioned proximal a second artery when the flexible band is enclosed about the wrist. Upon inflation of the first balloon and the second balloon, patent hemostasis is achieved on the first artery and occlusive pressure is generated on the second artery.
