1. A method of suppressing bleeding at a needle insertion site, comprising the steps of:

  • inserting a hollow cannula through a point in skin in a vessel of a patient;

    thereafter placing a soft, elastomeric pad on the skin of the patient to cover the point of the skin through which the cannula penetrates into the vessel; and

    thereafter removing the cannula while simultaneously compressing the pad toward said point in the skin by a force insufficient to collapse the cannulated vessel, said pad having a hardness of no more than about durometer 50 Shore 00, whereby bleeding is immediately terminated and clotting is promoted by the pad.
