1. An adhesive material for hemostasis, comprising:

  • a flexible strip-shaped base member having a high recovery property, a main surface, and side edges extending in a first longitudinal direction;

    an adhesive layer disposed on the main surface of the base member; and

    a pad having opposite ends and being disposed on the adhesive layer and extending in a second longitudinal direction substantially transverse to the first longitudinal direction such that a space is defined between each end of the pad and a respective one of the side edges of the base member, the pad comprising a layer composed of a material for preventing the deposition of coagulated blood when the pad is applied against a puncture area, the pad being of a size sufficient to directly contact and exert pressure at the puncture area including punctures of both a blood vessel and a skin surface, the pad having a slight elasticity and a hardness capable of securely exerting pressure on the punctures by a shrinking action of the base member when the base member is adhered to the skin surface while being stretched to secure the pad over the punctures.
