HEMOSTATIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A hemostatic device configured to be applied to a limb of a patient, the hemostatic device comprising:
- a flexible band to be applied to the limb of the patient in a wrapped state in which the flexible band is wrapped around at least a portion of the limb of the patient to apply the hemostatic device to the limb of the patient at a site where bleeding is to be stopped;
an elongated member made of a material more rigid than the flexible band, the elongated member and the flexible band being connected to each other so that when the flexible band is in the wrapped state the elongated member is positioned on the limb of the patient at the site on the limb where bleeding is to be stopped, the elongated member possessing an inner peripheral side which faces toward the limb of the patient when the flexible band is in the wrapped state, a portion of the inner peripheral side of the elongated member being a curved portion that is curved toward the inner peripheral side;
means for securing the flexible band in the wrapped state to the patient'"'"'s limb,an inflatable balloon that is inflatable upon introducing fluid into the balloon, the balloon being located on the inner peripheral side of the elongated member at a position deviated to a first end of the elongated member from a center portion of the elongated member in the lengthwise direction of the flexible band; and
the portion of the inner peripheral side of the elongated member that is curved being between the center portion of the elongated member and the first end of the elongated member.

Abstract
A hemostatic device includes a flexible band adapted to be wrapped around a patient'"'"'s limb at a site on the limb where bleeding is to be stopped, a portion for securing the band in a wrapped state to the limb, a curved plate which is made of a material more rigid than the band and at least a portion of which is curved toward the inner peripheral side thereof, a main balloon which is provided on the inner peripheral side of the curved plate and which inflates when a fluid is introduced therein, and a pressing member which is provided between the curved plate and the main balloon so that at least a portion thereof overlaps with the balloon and which is adapted for pressing against the balloon. The device provides an excellent hemostatic effect and prevents numbness and poor circulation in areas peripheral to the site of attachment.

12. A hemostatic device comprising:
-
a flexible band configured to be wrapped around at least a portion of a limb of a patient to apply the hemostatic device to the limb of the patient at a site on a surface of the patient'"'"'s limb at which bleeding is to be stopped; means for securing the flexible band in a wrapped state on the patient'"'"'s limb in which the flexible band is wrapped around at least a portion of the limb of the patient; a curved portion possessing an inner side that faces towards the limb of the patient when the hemostatic device is applied to the limb of the patient, the curved portion being curved by virtue of the inner side of the curved portion being a curved inner side; the curved portion being made of a material more rigid than the flexible band and maintaining a substantially fixed shape; the curved portion being provided on the flexible band so that when the hemostatic device is applied to the limb of the patient the curved inner side of the curved portion faces the limb of the patient; an inflatable balloon that inflates when a fluid is introduced into the balloon, the inflatable balloon being located at the curved inner side of the curved portion, the balloon applying a compressive force to the site on the surface of the patient'"'"'s limb in an oblique direction with respect to the surface of the limb when the hemostatic device is applied to the limb of the patient and the balloon is inflated. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
