Method and device for applying external pressure in combination with coagulant treatment of puncture wounds
First Claim
1. A compression device for achieving haemostasis in a puncture wound following a catheterisation procedure, comprising:
- a compressor; and
a pressure element connected to said compressor so that a side of the pressure element is in contact with said puncture wound, wherein said side of the pressure element is provided with coagulant, so that the coagulant and external compression pressure are applied simultaneously on said puncture wound when said compressor applies external compression pressure on said puncture wound via said pressure element; and
wherein the coagulant is provided at said side of the pressure element by a coagulant patch, which is detachable from the pressure element, so that the coagulant patch remains seated at the puncture wound when the pressure element is removed.

Abstract
Following a catheterisation of the artery, the flow of blood through the puncture wound has to be stopped. With the method according to the invention, the time for achieving haemostasis can be reduced by combining the normal clotting mechanism with a chitosan induced clogging mechanism. A compression device (1; 8; 16) for achieving haemostasis in a puncture wound comprises a compressor (2; 9; 17) and a pressure element (3; 10; 18) connected to said compressor (2; 9; 17) so that the bottom side of the pressure element (3; 10; 18) is in contact with the puncture wound, characterized in that the bottom side of the pressure element (3; 10; 18) is provided with chitosan, so that the chitosan and the external compression pressure are applied simultaneously on the puncture wound when the compressor (2; 9; 17) applies an external compression pressure on the puncture wound via the pressure element (3; 10; 18).
