A non-sterile, noninvasive, non-powered device intended to provide compression for haemostasis to the puncture site on a patient having undergone femoral artery catheterization, typically as an alternative to direct hand pressure; it may in addition be used on brachial and radial arteries or after venipuncture. The compressing portion could be one of a variety of designs (e.g., disc affixed to a handle, ball, dome or roller, manually-inflatable bulb) and is typically held in place with a frame, bandage, or straps secured around the patient's hips/thigh. It may be used in conjunction with dressings/haemostatic agents (not included). This is a single-use device.
